The 2014 Asian Games, officially known as the XVII Asiad, was a multi-sport event celebrated in Incheon, South Korea from September 19 – October 4, 2014,[1] with 439 events in 36 sports and disciplines featured in the Games.

Incheon was awarded the right on April 17, 2007, defeating Delhi, India to host the Games. Incheon is the third city in South Korea after Seoul (1986) and Busan (2002) to host the Asian Games.

The final medal tally was led by China, followed by South Korea and third place Japan. Some 14 World and 27 Asian records were broke during the Games.[2] Japanese swimmer Kosuke Hagino was announced as the most valuable player (MVP) of the Games.[3] Though there were several controversies, the games were deemed generally successful with its low price tag and with the rising standard of competition amongst Asian nations.[4]

Two cities were bidding for the Games, as Delhi (India) and Incheon (South Korea) made a formal bid on December 2, 2006 in Doha, Qatar.[5]

The vote was held on April 17, 2007 at the Marriot Hotel in Kuwait City, Kuwait, during the OCA's general assembly. During the final presentation prior to voting, Incheon made a new offer, raising USD$20 million funds to support the countries that are yet to win a medal in the Games. It also offered free flight tickets and accommodation to all the participants, while India did not make any changes to its offer.[6][7] All 45 members voted, with voting held in secret ballot. Around 4 p.m. local time, it was announced that Incheon won the rights.[8] Though the vote results were not released, it was revealed that Incheon won by 32–13.[9]

It was widely felt that Delhi's lack of enthusiasm to host the event was the primary reason for its loss. Then Union Sports Minister of India, Mani Shankar Aiyar, spoke strongly against Delhi hosting the games and argued that it was better if the money allocated by India's government for organizing the sporting event was spent on building facilities for the poor.[10] The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president revealed that India's Sports Minister remarks against hosting the Games was the main reason for New Delhi's loss.[11] The IOA delegation also added that the bids evaluation committee was concerned about pollution and traffic in Delhi.[12] Delhi offering US$200,000 to each team for games support against Incheon's offer of US$20 million to all 45 nations participating in the event could also have contributed to the defeat.[6]

Slogan

Unveiled on September 16, 2010, "Diversity Shines Here" is the official slogan of the Games. It represents and highlights the significance of Asia’s wonderful diversity in history, cultures, and religions.[13]

Transport

Incheon Subway's construction period was shortened rather than planned 2018 completion.[25] Due to the increasing popularity of Incheon International Airport during the Games, the immigration procedures were improved to convenience the passengers.[26]

Of the total budget, some US$1.39 billion was used for the construction of venue and infrastructure, while approximately US$11 million covered the building and maintenance of training grounds. Around US$103 million was allocated for road and transportation projects.[21]

However, a report in April 2012 suggested the city was under pressure on its financial due to uprising debt.[25]

The IAGOC saved US$34 million after agreeing to reduce from 15,000 to 2,025 athletes to be provided free of charge for transportation and accommodation.[28]

Opening ceremony

Main articles: 2014 Asian Games opening ceremony and 2014 Asian Games Parade of Nations

The opening ceremony started at 18:00 local time on September 19, 2014. The performance was directed by the film director Im Kwon-taek with playwright and actor Jang Jin, with entertainer Kim Seong-ju and KBS emcee Yun Su-yeong are the host of the ceremony.[36][37] It was attended by President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, President of International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach, Tokyo Governor Yōichi Masuzoe and also Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok.[36]

Lead the stories are actors Jang Dong-gun and Kim Soo-hyun, with performance covered in four acts, from "Asia long time ago", "Asia meeting through the sea", "Asia as family and friends", and "Asia as one and future joining with today", displayed the Korea past and future with digital technology. Other performers include Chinese pianist Lang Lang, soprano Sumi Jo,[38] and Psy, which wrap up the ceremony with Gangnam Style.[39]

Sports

The 2014 Games features 28 Olympic sports which will be contested at the 2016 Summer Olympics. In addition, eight non-Olympic sports are featured: baseball, ten-pin bowling, cricket, kabaddi, karate, sepak takraw, squash and wushu. The list was finalized on December 9, 2010 at the OCA's executive board meeting in Muscat, Oman.[40][41] This resulted in six other sports: roller sport, board games (chess, go, xiangqi), cue sports, softball, dancesport and dragon boat, which were held in previous Games being dropped from the list.[42] The list was approved on July 13, 2011 during the 30th annual general assembly in Tokyo as softball incorporated with baseball as one sport while soft tennis is under the discipline of tennis.[43] For the first time, compound archery, mixed relay triathlon, judo team events were introduced.[44][45]

The changes in the non-Olympic sports featured at the Asian Games were influenced by discussions with organizers, who had suggested the removal of cricket from the program because they felt too few countries played it, and because they lacked infrastructure to host it. However, the OCA disputed the proposed removal of cricket, citing its popularity and viewer interest.[46]

Closing ceremony

The closing ceremony was held at 05:00 pm local time on October 4, 2014 in Incheon Asiad Main Stadium.[47] The ceremony programme were directed by South Korean directors Im Kwon Taek and Jang Jin, who were also in charge of the opening ceremony. The duo had planned the ceremony with the theme: "Our Cherished Memories of Incheon." Three main parts of the ceremony were he welcoming performance, part one started off with countdown, part two where everyone can remember the Games with special featured film and final part where congratulatory performance was held. There are various spectacular programs that can be expected from this grand closing ceremony.

Concerns and controversies

Main article: Concerns and controversies at the 2014 Asian Games

Prior to the Games, the honorary ambassadors, Korean group JYJ, were reportedly dropped from the opening and closing ceremonies and were relegated to perform in the pre-opening ceremony instead,[97][98] After some debates, eventually the JYJ performed and sang the official song of the Games.[99] The Games were hit by lack of sponsorship and a lack of interest from the public with only 18% of the tickets for the opening ceremony sold a week before the Games.[100] Organizers were able to generate more interest but there were a few hundred empty seats in the 61,000-capacity stadium at the start of the opening ceremony.[101] There was a shortage of free shuttles provided for journalists and athletes in the days leading up to the Games.[102] Organizers supplied more shuttle buses for the late-night shifts at the request of various international media organizations.[103]

When the identity of the final torch bearer was revealed to be Lee Young-ae, there were mixed reactions in the local press as she had no direct ties to sports. However, she ultimately passed the torch to a pair of young South Korean athletes and the three lighted the cauldron in unison.[104]

The Games marred by Qatar women's basketball team withdrew due to hijab row,[105] and OCA policy on naturalized players, which contradicted the eligibility rule set by FIBA, and organizers disqualified US-born players Quincy Davis, Andray Blatche, and Aaron Haynes from the Chinese Taipei, Filipino, and South Korean teams.[106][107] In addition, some concerns also raised on outdoor velodrome on cycling event.[108]

In shooting,[109] wrestling,[110] and boxing several officiating and judging controversies favouring the host nation were stir by media. The highly controversial one involving Indian lightweight boxer Laishram Sarita Devi against eventual silver medalist Park Jina of South Korea.[111] This caused Sarita Devi refusing to accept the bronze medal during the medal ceremony and steer the debates on her behaviour.[112] In badminton, the hosts were accused of manipulating the wind in the stadium.[113]

Some 1,920 samples from 1,600 athletes were tested during the Games. Six athletes tested positive for banned substances and were sent home from the Games, two of them are gold medalists.[114]
