Editing Asian Games (section)

===Formation===
After World War II, several areas in Asia became [[sovereign state]]s. Many of these countries sought to exhibit Asian prowess without violence. At the London [[1948 Summer Olympics]], a conversation started between China and the Philippines to restore the idea of the Far Eastern Games. [[Guru Dutt Sondhi]], the Indian International Olympic Committee representative, believed that the restoration of the Far Eastern Games would sufficiently display the spirit of unity and level of achievement taking place in Asian sports. He proposed the idea of a new competition – which came to be the Asian Games. The Asian Athletic Federation would eventually be formed. A preparatory committee was set up to draft the charter for this new body. On 13 February 1949, the Asian Athletic Federation was formally inaugurated in New Delhi, announced as the inaugural host city to be held in 1950.<ref name=FEG>{{cite web|title=亚运会是从什么时候开始举办的,每几年举办一次?|url=http://zhidao.wangchao.net.cn/detail_2890838.html |publisher=wangchao.org|access-date=14 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907015334/http://zhidao.wangchao.net.cn/detail_2890838.html|archive-date=7 September 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=亚运会的前世今生：前身远东运动会 中国成绩优异|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2010-08-04/04065133499.shtml|access-date=14 August 2010|publisher=Sina Corp|date=4 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202111615/http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2010-08-04/04065133499.shtml|archive-date=2 December 2011|url-status=live}}</ref>
