Note: one event ended in a tie for first place, so two gold medals were awarded and no bronze. That is why the table shows 470 golds from 469 events. Bronze counts are higher than the number of events because combat sports such as boxing, judo, karate, taekwondo and wrestling award two bronze medals per event.
Key Takeaways from the Final Medal Table
- China’s run continued. China led from the first medal day to the last and has now topped every Asian Games medal table since 1982. It won about 36% of all gold medals, and its swimmers alone took 54 medals in the pool.
- Japan’s home advantage showed. The hosts jumped from 52 golds in Hangzhou to 83 and won more silver medals (95) than any other nation.
- The big three were far ahead. China, Japan and South Korea together won 291 golds — roughly six of every ten awarded.
- Two tiebreaks shaped the top ten. India and Uzbekistan finished level on 21 golds (India ahead on silver), and Hong Kong and Bahrain were level on 11 golds (Hong Kong ahead on silver).
- Total medals and rank told different stories. Kazakhstan was eighth on golds but won 84 medals, the fifth-highest total. Chinese Taipei won 55 medals — more than Iran or Thailand — but only five golds placed it 15th.
- Gold spread widely. 28 nations won at least one gold, from Asia’s giants to Myanmar, Macao, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Sri Lanka.
Medal Table by Region
How the medals split across Asia’s five Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) zones, calculated from the final table.
| Region | Nations on table | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Total | Best-placed nation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| East Asia | 8 | 316 | 281 | 322 | 919 | China (1st) |
| Central Asia | 7 | 55 | 78 | 108 | 241 | Uzbekistan (5th) |
| Southeast Asia | 10 | 43 | 53 | 110 | 206 | Thailand (7th) |
| South Asia | 5 | 22 | 30 | 49 | 101 | India (4th) |
| West Asia | 10 | 34 | 27 | 40 | 101 | Bahrain (10th) |
East Asia won about two-thirds of all golds. Central Asia was clearly the next-strongest zone, with 241 medals: Uzbekistan and Iran both finished in the top six, and Kazakhstan’s 84 medals added depth in combat sports. Southeast Asia’s ten nations won 206 medals, led by Thailand, and the most bronze medals outside East Asia (110). South Asia’s total was driven by India, which won 85 of the zone’s 101 medals. In West Asia, the Gulf states turned small teams into 34 golds, led by Bahrain.

Aichi-Nagoya 2026 vs Hangzhou 2023
The previous Asian Games were held in Hangzhou in 2023 (officially the 2022 Asian Games, postponed by a year), where China became the first nation to pass 200 golds at a single Games. Here is how the top five compare.
| Nation | Hangzhou 2023 (G-S-B, Total) | Aichi-Nagoya 2026 (G-S-B, Total) | Change in golds |
|---|---|---|---|
| China | 201-111-71 · 383 (1st) | 169-89-83 · 341 (1st) | −32 |
| Japan | 52-67-69 · 188 (2nd) | 83-95-91 · 269 (2nd) | +31 |
| South Korea | 42-59-89 · 190 (3rd) | 39-43-68 · 150 (3rd) | −3 |
| India | 28-38-41 · 107 (4th) | 21-27-37 · 85 (4th) | −7 |
| Uzbekistan | 22-18-31 · 71 (5th) | 21-25-24 · 70 (5th) | −1 |
The top five finished in exactly the same order as in Hangzhou. Japan’s home surge — 31 more golds — came almost entirely at China’s expense. Aichi-Nagoya 2026 also had 12 fewer gold-medal events (469) than Hangzhou.
How the Medal Table Is Ranked
The Asian Games medal table is ordered by gold medals. When two nations have the same number of golds, silver decides, then bronze. The total column is shown but does not decide the ranking.
Aichi-Nagoya 2026 showed why that matters: India (21-27-37) placed ahead of Uzbekistan (21-25-24) on silvers, and Hong Kong (11-19-24) ahead of Bahrain (11-5-6). Kazakhstan’s 84 medals were the fifth-highest total, yet it finished eighth.
How Individual and Team Medals Are Counted
- Singles and individual events — the winner is credited.
- Doubles and mixed events — both partners are credited with one medal each.
- Relays and small teams — each competing member is credited.
- Large team sports (football, basketball, cricket, hockey, kabaddi and similar) — the medal counts once in the country tally, not in the athlete leaderboard.
In the country table, each event awards one gold to the winning nation, however many athletes are in the team.
