The Asian Games are also called the Asiad for short. Like the Olympic Games, these games are the largest multi-sport event in Asia.
亞洲運動會簡稱亞運會，是亞洲地區(qū)規(guī)模最大的綜合性運動會。
The Asian Games came from the 1st Oriental Olympics (also called the Far East Championships). These were held in Manila in 1913. The Philippines, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong competed for eight days. Nine were held from 1913 to 1934. The 10th was cancelled because of war. The 1st West Asia Games were held in India in 1934, with Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, India and Palestine. In 1948, Asian sports leaders started the Asian Games Federation (AGF) in New Delhi. In 1982, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) was formed.
亞運會起源于1913年在菲律賓馬尼拉舉行的第一屆東方奧運會（也稱遠東運動會）。菲律賓、中國臺北、日本、馬來西亞、泰國、香港參加了為期8天的比賽。此后的1913年至1934年間，遠東運動會共舉辦了9屆。第10屆因為戰(zhàn)爭取消。1934年，第一屆西亞運動會在印度舉行，阿富汗、斯里蘭卡、巴勒斯坦、印度四國參賽。1948年，亞洲體育界領導人在新德里成立亞洲運動聯(lián)合會。1982年，亞奧理事會成立。
The Asian Games are held every four years allowing athletes from all over Asia to compete. They are organized and regulated by the OCA under the supervision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Athletes are entered into the competition through member committees in each country. If an athlete wins gold, his or her national anthem is played. Silver and bronze medal winners are also honored on the podium.
亞運會，每四年一屆，來自亞洲各國的運動員在賽場上奮力拼搏。亞運會最初由亞洲運動會聯(lián)合會組織、管理，并接受國際奧林匹克委員會監(jiān)督。參賽運動員數(shù)量由代表其所在國家的亞奧理事會中的該國委員決定。運動員獲得金牌，會奏冠軍得主所在國家的國歌，銀牌和銅牌得主也會出現(xiàn)在領獎臺上。
