== Medal table ==

The ranking in this table is consistent with [[International Olympic Committee]] convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a nation is an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given; they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.<ref name="ocasia1"/><ref name="WSJ">{{cite news|last=Johnson|first=Ian|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB121856271893833843?mod=psp_free_today&mg=com-wsj#printMode|title=Who's on First in Medals Race|newspaper=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|date=13 August 2008|access-date=11 April 2011|archive-date=4 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604204831/http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121856271893833843.html?mod=psp_free_today&mg=com-wsj#printMode|url-status=live}}</ref>

A total of 614 medals (199 gold, 200 silver and 215 bronze) were awarded. The total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals because two bronze medals were awarded per event in three sports: [[Badminton at the Asian Games|badminton]], [[Boxing at the Asian Games|boxing]] and [[Table tennis at the Asian Games|table tennis]] (except the team events).
