Saudi Arabia participated in the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea from 19 September to 4 October 2014.

Asian Games Performance

Saudi Arabia's delegation received backlash from Human Rights Watch after no woman made it to their roster of athletes. However, they were able to send 199 athletes to the Games.[1]

Yousef Masrahi won gold in the men's 400 m, at a time of 44.46, an Asian Games record.[2] Abdullah Waleed Sharbatly then won the individual jumping title as Saudi Arabia claimed their second gold medal of the Games.[3] They then won their third gold medal courtesy of Sultan Abdulmajeed Al-Hebshi in the men's shot put.[4] Overall, Saudi Arabia finished 19th overall in the standings with three golds, three silvers, and one bronze.[5]
