The Ninth Asian Games were held at New Delhi in 1982. It was a spectacular show. It attracted as many as 4,500 participants from 33 countries breaking 101 previous records. India was able to bag 57 medals (13 gold, 19 silver and 25bronze) thus improving its 1951 record of 52 medals. For the first time in Asian Games history, Japan had to yield its supremacy to China which bagged 61 gold, 51 silver and 41 bronze medals. Japan came next and was followed by South Korea and North Korea. India finished 5th.

India took the hosting of Asiad 82 as a big challenge for it. During the short span of two years, sprawling stadia, overbridges, hotels, roads and the Asian village complex were constructed on schedule. This work was undertaken on a war footing. However, a section of the people in India opposed the holding of Asiad 82 in India at a cost of millions of rupees due to which a number of essential on-going developmental projects suffered. They also argued that a developing country like India could not afford the luxury of hosting such meets. This criticism was ill-conceived.
