The Chinese National Games or National Games of the People's Republic of
China is the premier sports event in China at national level. It is usually held
once every four years, most recently in October 2013, when the 12th National
Games of the People's Republic of China took place in Liaoning. The forerunner
of the Games was the Chinese National Games, first held in 1910 during the Qing
Dynasty. This ran until 1948 and the competition was relaunched under its
current name in 1959, following the formation of the People's Republic of China.
A total of 350 events in 31 sports were held at the games.
A total of 9770 athletes from 39 delegations took part in the competition. Among
the delegations were 4 municipalities, 22 provincial teams and 5 autonomous
regions including Hong Kong and Macao. Further to this, the People's Liberation
Army sent a team, and six sports association teams were entered.
