Two disciplines—road race and track race—were contested. Track cycling included—1000 m sprint, 1000 m time trial, and 4000 team-pursuit; for road cycling, 180 km individual road race was contested. The event was widely perceived as being dominated by Japan, who claimed 8 medals in total, including all the four golds out of 11 total overall medals and 4 golds. Indian cyclists won all the rest 3 medals as Burma and Iran failed to achieve a single one.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg/220px-India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="157" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg/330px-India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg/440px-India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2100" data-file-height="1500" /></a><figcaption>Asiad 1951 Cyclists</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg/220px-India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="157" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg/330px-India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg/440px-India-Cycle-Sporting-3-AsianGames1951b.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2100" data-file-height="1500" /></a><figcaption>Asiad 1951 Cyclists on Podium</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Football">Football</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1951_Asian_Games&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Football"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Football_at_the_1951_Asian_Games" title="Football at the 1951 Asian Games">Football at the 1951 Asian Games</a></div> <p>In football, six Asian teams—<a href="/wiki/Afghanistan_national_football_team" title="Afghanistan national football team">Afghanistan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Burma_national_football_team" class="mw-redirect" title="Burma national football team">Burma</a>, <a href="/wiki/India_men%27s_national_football_team" class="mw-redirect" title="India men's national football team">India</a>, <a href="/wiki/Indonesia_national_football_team" title="Indonesia national football team">Indonesia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iran_national_football_team" title="Iran national football team">Iran</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Japan_national_football_team" title="Japan national football team">Japan</a>—participated.
