The Asian Games close in China as the hosts dominate the medal count. Nagoya, Japan, coming next

Associated Press  

HANGZHOU, China — The Asian Games closed their 16-day run on Sunday at the 80,000-seat Olympic Sports Center Stadium with host nation China again in command as Premier Li Qiang ended a show aimed partly at winning the hearts of Asian neighbors. They’re officially called the Asian Games, but the more accurate description would be the “China Games,” illustrative of the country’s four-decade domination of the continental, multi-sports championships. Vinod Kumar Tiwari, the acting general secretary of the Olympic Council of Asia, called them “by far the largest ever Asian Games.” The secretary general of the organizing committee, Chen Weiqiang, characterized this version of the Asian Games as a “branding” campaign for Hangzhou. One of the few records China didn’t break this time was its overall medal haul of 416 when the 2010 Asian Games took place in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. “How can we rate the performance of the Hangzhou Asian Games?’' Wei Jizhong, the 87-year-old vice president of the Olympic Council of Asia, asked rhetorically in a news conference.
