“Tonight, we close Games that will shape the next generation of Asian sport. You have created a sporting legacy that will touch Japan and beyond. More than 50 world records have been broken, a record for our Asian Games,” said H.E. Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, OCA President.
“We have witnessed remarkable comebacks and dramatic misses. We have celebrated the rise of new champions and seen seasoned campaigners win medals once again. Together, we have seen how far Asia can rise when we dream without limits and as ‘One Asia’,” he added.
