Syria and Palestine suffering from civil war: 1 ‘valuable’ bronze medal

At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which ended on the 8th, host country China won over 200 gold medals.

This number surpasses the record of 199 gold medals won by China at the 2010 Guangzhou Games.

The previous record for the most gold medals in a single event at the Summer Asian Games.

In the 2010 Games, China took 199 out of 476 gold medals, or 41.8%, and in this year's Games, it also took 201 out of 481 gold medals, or 41.8%.

While China dominated the gold medals, there were also countries that failed to win even a single bronze medal. https://www.casinositewiki.com

Among the 45 member countries of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) that participated in this competition, four countries finished the schedule without winning a single medal.

Timor-Leste, Bhutan, Maldives, and Yemen are the ‘no medal’ countries.

Among them, Timor-Leste, Bhutan, and Maldives have not won any medals in the Asian Games so far, and Yemen's best performance was winning a bronze medal at the 2002 Busan Games and the 2006 Doha Games.

Of the 45 participating countries, 27 countries each took home at least one gold medal.

Among the countries that finished the competition with only one bronze medal.

Many foreign media focused on the bronze medals of Syria and Palestine.

Syria's Ahmad Gosun won a bronze medal in the men's 80kg boxing category.

Syria, which won gold medals at the 2006 Doha and 2010 Guangzhou Games, has been suffering from civil war since 2011 and only received a 'no medal' at the 2014 Incheon Games.

While the civil war continued for more than 10 years, the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games and this year's Games ended with one bronze medal each.

Gosun expressed his motivation to participate in the Olympics, saying, "I had difficulty preparing for the competition because I couldn't gain practical experience with athletes from other countries.

If I had won the semifinals, I could have qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics, but it's disappointing."

Palestine's Hala Al-Qadi, who competed in karate, won a bronze medal in the women's 68kg class.

It is Palestine's first Asian Games medal in 20 years since the 2002 Busan Games, and she is the first Palestinian woman to reach the podium at the Asian Games. https://castbox.fm/channel/id5683600

In an interview after winning the third-fourth place match, al-Qadi said, “This is a historic victory,”

And emphasized, “We, the Palestinian people, must have the opportunity to escape war, live in peace, and achieve our dreams.”
