Rugby union at the Asian Games
Rugby union has been played at the Asian Games since the 1998 games in Bangkok, Thailand. In the 1998 and 2002 editions of the games, both the usual fifteen-a-side variety and rugby sevens were played, but from 2006 onwards, only rugby sevens was retained. In 2010, the women's rugby sevens event was introduced. The event is likely to remain a permanent fixture of the Asian Games due to elevation of rugby sevens as an Olympic sport from the 2016 Olympics onwards.

List of medalists
gollark: You can maybe be *practically* non-political, if you just somehow avoid letting politics affect your purchasing decisions.
gollark: Hmm, okay then. As in, a big dropoff right after that happened, or just a general decline around the same time?
gollark: You seem to think that laws drive social attitude change. I think it's somewhat the other way round.
gollark: You should say it that way initially then. It's clearer.
gollark: I mean, "the enemy is the self" seems like "do the opposite of what's good for you" read literally, thus bad.
