Hosts China finished with a record 201 gold medals as the curtain comes down on two weeks of triumphs and tears at the Asian Games 2023 on Sunday.
The biggest Asiad event ever will wrap up later in the day with a closing ceremony at the 80,000-capacity Olympic stadium, with China handing over to Japan for 2026. The Games normally happen every four years but Nagoya-Aichi has a shorter run-up because Hangzhou was postponed by a year due to China`s now-abandoned zero-Covid measures.
