16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, the closing ceremony held on 27th of November

As the title reads, Asian Games 2010 have been closed, and the ceremony was held yesterday, on 27th of November. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, President of the Olympic Council of Asia, said that Guangzhou AG were "a huge success" and "best ever" in history. Also some new categories were introduced this year including cricket, dance sport, dragon boat, roller sport and go chess.

For the final results, China beat its own record, coming 1st with an amazing result of 416 (!) medals. Next, with a huge difference, comes Republic of Korea with 232 medals, and 3rd is Japan with a massive quantity of 216 medals. What about our country? Mongolia, since my previous post, dedicated to AG, won 8 more medals in new categories, such as wrestling and boxing, and with a total number of 16 medals came 21st. I am very proud^^ The full table of stats I attach below, in case anyone is interested.

My congratulations to all the sides involved!! These AG were grand, and now all we have left is to wait for next AG 2014, which again I will remind, will be held in Incheon, South Korea.
