The Olympic Council of Asia control a variety of Games, these include the Asian
Games which are the largest of them all, the different Games haves different concepts
or themes. The Asian Games include all traditional and popular sports. However,
there are other sports which are still developing and becoming increasingly popular
which means that many are not yet incorporated into the main program. Therefore
the OCA established ideas to incorporate other non traditional games for example
E- sports and extreme sports. In turn this then led to the development of various
categories such as Winter Games and Beach Games.
Although some sports will be duplicated from the Asian Games it allows recognition
and competition for skills in other areas of sport which are not included elsewhere.
