China once again took home the biggest cache of medals this year with 289 in total, although some would say this is conservative compared to previous years. Host nation, Indonesia came in 4th with 98 total medals but that’s the least of their celebration. With some considering this Asian Games to be the best Games ever, Indonesia surely has something to shout about beyond the medals tally. Well done to all participating nations and athletes that performed at their very best! We’ll see you folks back here again for the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games.
