2002 ASIAN GAMES


The '14th Asian Games' were held in Pusan, South Korea from September 29 2002 to October 14, 2002. A total number of 6,700 athletes competed, coming from 44 countries, in this edition of the Asiad. There were 38 sporting events and 18,000 journalists, officials and athletes.
It was the first time in the history of the Asian Games that all 44 member nations of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) participated. That included North Korea, which sent an unprecedented delegation to the South (including a shipload of fans) and Afghanistan, which returned to the Asian Games for the first time since the Taliban came to power nearly a decade ago. Body building made its debut.
