number of participants has been increasing. The quality of athletes, officials and sports facilities has also been developing through time. New
sports and traditional sports have been introduced and added to the Games.
The 1st Asian Games were held in New Delhi, India in 1951. Only 489 athletes from 11 nations took part in the Games. The six sports events at the first Games were basketball, cycling, football, aquatic sports, athletics and weightlifting. Boxing, shooting and wrestling were added at the 2nd Asian Games in Manila, the Philippines in 1954; and tennis, volleyball,
table tennis and hockey were added at the 3rd Asian Games in Tokyo, Japan in 1958. Squash,
