Calls for nation's dominance to inspire not impair others

China's dominance at the Asian Games won't harm sports development in Asia but will push other countries to be even better, according to the head of Asia's top sports body.

As the Incheon Asian Games wrapped up with a festive closing ceremony on Oct 4, the Chinese delegation emerged as the top medal winner again, with 151 golds. This was well ahead of the 79 won by host South Korea and the 47 that went to Japan.

China's dominance in the Asian Games medal tally and win by a big margin has been the norm since the 1990 Asiad in Beijing.
