China is confirmed to be the overall champion of the 2022 Asian Games. The host contingent’s medal haul can no longer be caught up by other participants.

For China, this is the 11th time they have become overall champions of the Asian Games.

The Bamboo Curtain Country’s domination of sporting events in Asian countries began with the 1982 edition in New Delhi, India.

Interestingly, since it was first held in 1951, only two countries have become overall champions of the Asian Games, namely Japan and China.

Japan has always been the overall champion from 1951 to 1978, until finally their dominance was stopped by China, which has appeared strong until now.

Meanwhile, Indonesia is in 13th place in the 2022 Asian Games medal standings with seven gold, 11 silver and 18 bronze.

Indonesia is one point above Malaysia, which collected six gold, eight silver and 18 bronze medals.

Compared to the last edition when they hosted in 2018, the Red and White team’s medal tally has decreased significantly.

At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia was able to rank fourth with 31 gold, 24 silver and 43 bronze.

However, when looking at Indonesia’s achievements in 2014 (Incheon) and 2010 (Guangzhou), the medal haul in this edition is still better.

Meanwhile, the closing ceremony for the 2022 Asian Games, which was postponed one year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will be held tonight.

The closing ceremony for the 2022 Asian Games will be held at Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium at 19.00 WIB.
