15days of thrills came to an end last Saturday at Guangzhou. 45 countries took part in 42 sports.
China the powerhouse of Asia and overall champion in 2008 Beijing Olympics, showed their supremecy again by bagging 199gold medals. The nearest contender, South Korea, could only manage 76golds.
During the closing ceremony, with a team of "Chinese in Water" showed countries that the chinese have stammed their mark from the past, i.e Indonesia, Mongolia, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc.
I liked the way they brought down the Asian Olympic Council Flag, which was in proper with obidient way of respect to the flag. The mayor of the city,organising comitte chairman and the Olympic Council member of Guangzhou handed over the torch, Asian Games Banner and Asian Olympic Council Flag respectively to the next host from Incheon, South Korea.
It was good that the country spaced out its developement to various city rather than just focusing on Beijing. They have organised it at Shanghai. Now, at GuangZhou. Even when Thailand organised it's SEA Games, the host was not only focused on Bangkok, but also Chiang Mai (95) and Korat (07).
Our country made its best finishing ever by meeting the target of 9 gold medals but alot of home works to be done for next Olympic Games in two years time for our maiden gold medal.
