the mascot of the 15th Asian Games is Orry, who is a native Qatari oryx, a beautiful member of the antelope family.
When seen in profile, the long, pointed horns of the oryx appear as one, which some say gave rise to the legend of the unicorn. With striking black and white markings on its face, this graceful creature was once close to extinction but now lives and breeds in protected herds.
These social animals graze on the sparse vegetation offered by the dry local environment, using their large horns to defend themselves. Survival in such habitats requires special adaptation and the oryx can survive on little more than dew or condensation licked off leaves during the night for up to a year.
A characteristic of the animal is its ability to detect rainfall from great distances. As a result, oryx travel swiftly and have been known to cover up to 88km in 18 hours. Perfectly adapted to desert conditions, the hooves of the Arabian oryx are designed to give better grip in sand while its coat is whiter to reflect heat.
as expected, CHINA PR emerged as the overall Asian Games champions with 165 gold, 88 silver & 63 bronze medals. the host nation, QATAR also performed well in this games, clinching 9 gold, 12 silver & 11 bronze medals to finish 9th in the overall medals tally.
the final gold medal on the final day of the Asian Games which is the men's football gold medal was won by QATAR, who beat IRAQ 1-0 in the final. it was their first ever gold medal in football event at the Asian Games.
the next Asian Games will takes place in the city of Guangzhou, China PR from 12 to 27 November 2010.
