New Delhi 1951
The first edition of the Asian Games was held in New Delhi in March 1951.
The aftermath of the Second World War meant Japan were barred from the 1948 Olympics in London.
They were not invited to the founding meeting of the Asian Games Federation in 1949 but the country was allowed to compete in the inaugural Asian Games.
South Korea did not participate, however, due to the Korean War, which had started the previous year and would last until 1953.
The Games were officially opened by Indian President Rajendra Prasad at the Dhyan Chand National Stadium.
A total of 489 athletes from 11 National Olympic Committees competed in 12 sports.
Japan topped the medal table with 24 gold, 21 silver and 15 bronze medals.
A total of 169 medals were awarded.
