The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games concluded on Sunday with a spectacular 90-minute closing ceremony at the Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium in Japan. Athletes from 45 Asian countries joined the celebrations built around the theme of One Asia.

Olympic Council of Asia president Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al Thani officially declared the Games closed in the presence of Crown Prince and Crown Princess Akishino. More than 350 records were broken during the Games, including over 50 world records. The hexagonal stage decorated with lanterns was the highlight of the show.

China topped the medal table for the 12th consecutive edition with 341 medals, including 169 gold. Hosts Japan finished second with 269 medals, and South Korea were third with 150. India finished fourth with 85 medals, including 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze. It was India’s second-best Asian Games tally.

Trap shooter Neeru Dhanda carried the Indian flag at the ceremony. The OCA flag was handed over to Doha, which will host the 2030 Asian Games. India’s campaign featured a clean sweep of team-sport golds in cricket, kabaddi and hockey.
