2010 Asian Games
Liu Xiang from China won a gold medal in 110 metres hurdles.

The 2010 Asian Games, also known as the XVI Asiad, was a multi-sport event held in Guangzhou, China from 12 to 27 November 2010. The event saw 9,704 athletes from 45 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) competing in 476 events in 42 sports.[1] This medal table ranks the participating NOCs by the number of gold medals won by their athletes.

Athletes from 35 NOCs (Kuwait participated under the Olympic flag due to the suspension of its NOC)[2][3] won medals, leaving 9 NOCs without a medal, and 29 of them won at least one gold medal. China led the medal table for the eighth consecutive time in the Asian Games.[4] They led all the medal categories, winning the most gold medals (199), the most silver medals (119), the most bronze medals (98) and the most medals overall (416, 26% of all medals awarded). China became the first nation in the history of Asian Games to cross the 400 medal-mark in one edition. Macau and Bangladesh won their first Asian Games gold medals, from wushu and cricket, respectively.[5][6]

Medal table

Rustam Kasimdzhanov from Uzbekistan won a gold medal in chess.
Wong Kam-po from Hong Kong won a gold medal in cycling – men's road race.
Olga Rypakova from Kazakhstan won a gold medal in triple jump and a silver in long jump.
Somdev Devvarman from India won a gold medal in tennis men's single.

The ranking in this table is consistent with International Olympic Committee convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by an NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.

A total of 1,577 medals (477 gold, 479 silver and 621 bronze) were awarded. The total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals because two bronze medals were awarded per event in 15 sports: badminton,[7] boxing,[8] cue sports,[9] fencing,[10] judo,[11] kabaddi,[12] karate,[13] sepaktakraw,[14] soft tennis,[15] squash,[16] table tennis,[17] taekwondo,[18] tennis,[19] wrestling,[20] and wushu (except for taolu events).[21]

This discrepancy is also caused by ties. In men's floor events in artistic gymnastics, there was a tie for the gold medal and no silver was awarded.[22] There were also ties for the silver medal in men's 200 metres breaststroke in swimming,[23] men's pole vault in athletics,[24] and men's doubles in bowling.[25][26] Thus, no bronzes were awarded in these events. Lastly, ties for third in both canoeing's men's K1 1000 metres[27] and athletics' women's high jump,[28] as well as a three-way tie for third in athletics' men's high jump,[29] meant that multiple bronze medals were awarded for these events.
