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.
