The 2014 Asian Games (Korean: 2014년 아시안 게임, translit. 2014nyeon asian geim, Hanja:2014年 아시안 게임), officially known as the 17th Asian Games, was a pan-Asian multi-sport event held in Incheon, South Korea.[1] This was the third time South Korea hosted the Asian Games, and its' first time since 2002. Previously, it had also hosted the 1986 edition of the games.

Incheon was awarded the right on 17 April 2007, defeating Delhi, India to host the Games and was the third city in South Korea after Seoul (1986) and Busan (2002) to host the Asian Games. The games was held from 19 September to 4 October 2014, although several events had commenced from 14 September 2014. Around 9,501 athletes participated in the event which featured 439 events in 36 sports. It was opened by the President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium.

The final medal tally was led by China, followed by host South Korea and Japan, while Cambodia won its' first ever Asian Games gold medal. 14 World and 27 Asian records were broken during the Games.[2] Japanese swimmer Kosuke Hagino was announced as the most valuable player (MVP) of the Games.[3] Though there were several controversies, the Games were deemed generally successful with its low hosting cost and with the rising standard of competition amongst the Asian nations.[4]

Bidding process

City Country Votes
Incheon  South Korea 32
New Delhi  India 13

Two cities bid for the Games. Both New Delhi (India) and Incheon (South Korea) submitted their formal bid on 2 December 2006 in Doha, Qatar.[5]

The vote was held on 17 April 2007 at the Marriott Hotel in Kuwait City, Kuwait, during the OCA's general assembly. During the final presentation prior to voting, Incheon made a new offer, raising USD$20 million funds to support the countries that are yet to win a medal in the Games. It also offered free flight tickets and accommodation to all the participants, while India did not make any changes to its offer.[6][7] All 45 members voted, with voting held in secret ballot. Later that day, it was announced that Incheon won the rights.[8] Though the vote results were not released, it was revealed that Incheon won by 32–13.[9]

It was widely felt that Delhi's lack of enthusiasm to host the event was the primary reason for its loss. Then Union Sports Minister of India, Mani Shankar Aiyar, spoke strongly against Delhi hosting the games and argued that it was better if the money allocated by India's government for organizing the sporting event was spent on building facilities for the poor.[10] The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president revealed that India's Sports Minister remarks against hosting the Games was the main reason for New Delhi's loss.[11] The IOA delegation also added that the bids evaluation committee was concerned about pollution and traffic in Delhi.[12] Delhi offering US$200,000 to each team for games support against Incheon's offer of US$20 million to all 45 nations participating in the event could also have contributed to the defeat.[6]

Among the 49 competition venues, ten venues featured in six cities of Gyeonggi Province while another two featured in Chungju and Seoul.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on June 28, 2011 in Yeonhui-dong. Construction began in June 2011 and finished in July 2014.[16][17]

Flags at Asiad Park

It represents and highlights the significance of Asia’s wonderful diversity in history, cultures, and religions.[18] The official slogan in Korean, "평화의 숨결, 아시아의 미래" (RR: Pyeonghwaui sumgyeol, asiaui mirae), literally means "Breath of Peace, Future of Asia".

Three Spotted seal siblings were unveiled on November 4, 2010 as the official mascots of the Games in Songdo Island, Incheon. The three seals, known as "Barame (바라메)", "Chumuro (추므로)" and "Vichuon (비추온)", meaning wind, dance and light in Korean, were chosen in accordance with the theme of the main venue. The prototype was taken from Baengnyeong Island. According to the organizers, the mascots were chosen as symbolic to the future peace between South Korea and North Korea.[19][20]

The official emblem was also revealed on the same day, represented by a wing consisting of a string of the letter "A", for "Asia", with a shining sun at its upper left, symbolizing the Asian people holding hands in the sky.[19]

The six official posters for the Incheon Asian Games were released on March 31, 2011. The design represents the 28 Olympic sports categorized into five groups: racquet sports, ball sports, water sports, athletic sports and weight class. In various ways, the values and philosophy of the 17th Asian Games is represented in these posters.[21][22]

On September 27, 2012, Swiss watchmaker company Tissot was named as the official timekeeper of the Games.[23]

The official album was released by Universal Music was released on June 20, 2014, which featured "Only One", performed by JYJ as the official theme song of the Games.[24][25]

Transport

Incheon Subway's construction period was shortened rather than planned 2018 completion.[26] Due to the increasing popularity of Incheon International Airport during the Games, the immigration procedures were improved to better convenience the passengers.[27]

Medals

The medal design was approved by OCA on August 19, 2013. It features a pentagon-shaped symbol representing the five ports of Incheon — Airport, Seaport, Teleport, Leisureport and Businessport, with the emblem of Games inside. It symbolises the city as the hub of Northeast Asia.[28]

Costs

The cost of the Games was estimated at approximately US$1.62 billion, with the Korean government and Incheon government covering 19% and 78.9% respectively. Of the total budget, some US$1.39 billion was used for the construction of venue and infrastructure, while approximately US$11 million covered the building and maintenance of training grounds. Around US$103 million was allocated for road and transportation projects.[14]

However, a report in April 2012 suggested the city was under pressure on its financial due to uprising debt.[26]

The IAGOC saved US$34 million after agreeing to reduce from 15,000 to 2,025 athletes to be provided free of charge for transportation and accommodation.[29]

Torch relay

The torch was revealed in October 2013, with the design motif based on the official bird of Incheon Metropolitan City, the Crane, with the blue internal cylinder of torch signifying the sky and the ocean of Incheon. Another four colors (green, yellow, red, violet) were designed to represent the five regions of Asia.[30]

The torch was lit at Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi, India on August 9, 2014. This marked the first time the torch was lit outside the host country.[31] For the first time also, the Games hosted by South Korea's city to have international torch relay as Weihai, a city in Shandong province of the People's Republic of China, was only the another city hosted the torch relay on August 12, 2014.[32][33]

The domestic lighting ceremony was held at Manisan on Ganghwa Island on August 12, 2014.[34] The domestic relay begin from August 13, 2014 and travel through 70 cities for 5,700 km until the opening ceremony.[35]

Opening ceremony

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony started at 18:00 local time on September 19, 2014. The performance was directed by the film director Im Kwon-taek with playwright and actor Jang Jin, with entertainer Kim Seong-ju and KBS emcee Yun Su-yeong were the host of the ceremony.[37][38] It was attended by President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, President of International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach, Tokyo Governor Yōichi Masuzoe and also Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok.[37]

Actors Jang Dong-gun and Kim Soo-hyun led the performance, which was covered in four acts, from "Asia long time ago", "Asia meeting through the sea", "Asia as family and friends", and "Asia as one and future joining with today", displayed the Korea past and future with digital technology. Other performers included Chinese pianist Lang Lang, soprano Sumi Jo,[39] JYJ, Exo, and Psy, who wrapped up the ceremony with a performance of Gangnam Style.[40]

Sports

The 2014 Asian Games featured 28 Olympic sports that would be contested at the 2016 Summer Olympics. In addition, eight non-Olympic sports were featured: baseball, ten-pin bowling, cricket, kabaddi, karate, sepak takraw, squash and wushu. The list was finalized on December 9, 2010 at the OCA's executive board meeting in Muscat, Oman.[41][42] This resulted in six other sports: roller sport, board games (chess, go, xiangqi), cue sports, softball, dancesport and dragon boat, which were held in previous Games being dropped from the list.[43] The list was approved on July 13, 2011 during the 30th annual general assembly in Tokyo as softball was incorporated with baseball as one sport while soft tennis came under the discipline of tennis.[44] For the first time, compound archery, mixed relay triathlon, judo team events were introduced.[45][46]

The changes in the non-Olympic sports featured at the Asian Games were influenced by discussions with organizers, who had suggested the removal of cricket from the program because they felt too few countries played it and because they lacked the infrastructure to host it. However, the OCA disputed the proposed removal of cricket, citing its popularity and viewer interest.[47]

Closing ceremony

The closing ceremony was held at 07:00 pm local time on October 4, 2014.[48] The theme of the ceremony is "Our Cherished Memories of Incheon". The sequence of events featured the performances of National Dance Company of Korea, Gugak Center Dance Troupe and Kukkiwon.[49]

The ceremony also included the segment from the next Asian Games host city, Jakarta and Palembang. It starts with "The Colours of Jakarta", featured a Javanese dance known as Ronggeng. It followed by "The Spirit of South Sumatra", featured Malay dance accompaniment of Rampak Nusantara drums. IOC member Rita Subowo,Governor of South Sumatra Alex Noerdin, and the Governor of Jakarta Basuki Tjahaja Purnama received the Games flag for the 2018 Games.[50]

Participating National Olympic Committees

Concerns and controversies

Prior to the Games, there were several controversies over finances, lack of public interest,[99] transportation shortages for journalists,[100] and several administrative decisions regarding the opening ceremony and gala show.[101][102][103] Organizers were able to generate more interest but there were a few hundred empty seats in the 61,000-capacity stadium at the start of the opening ceremony.[104] Organizers also supplied more shuttle buses for the late-night shifts at the request of various international media organizations.[105]

In addition, the OCA and FIBA failed to compromise on a couple of policies, causing one team to boycott the event and forcing three teams to find replacement players. The Qatari women's basketball team withdrew from the Games when FIBA reaffirmed its ban on hijab, citing safety concerns.[106] Basketball became the only sport to enforce a hijab ban in the Games. On the other hand, OCA policy on naturalized players contradicted the eligibility rules set by FIBA. The OCA disqualified United States-born players Quincy Davis, Andray Blatche, and Aaron Haynes from the Chinese Taipei, Filipino, and South Korean teams.[107][108]

During the Games there were several controversies, mostly revolving around poor officiating. The vast majority of poor judging allegations occurred in boxing, highlighted by the controversial semifinal loss of Indian lightweight boxer Laishram Sarita Devi against eventual silver medalist Park Jina of South Korea.[109] The judging of the match, Sarita Devi's refusal to accept the bronze medal, and her questionable behavior at the medal ceremony received widespread international attention and sparked numerous debates.[110] The high volume of controversial boxing decisions led to accusations against the judges for widespread incompetence and host favoritism. Criticisms of the new scoring system have also been brought up.[111] Shooting,[112] and wrestling saw initial rulings by officials being overturned following appeals.[113]

Some 1,920 samples from 1,600 athletes were tested during the Games. Six athletes tested positive for banned substances and were sent home from the Games, including two gold medalists that were stripped of their medals.[114]
