  "summary": "The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has achieved a record-breaking performance at the Asian Games Aichi–Nagoya 2026, securing the highest number of gold medals ever recorded by the country at the Asian Games. The UAE finished 13th in the overall medal standings, with a total of 13 medals, including seven gold, five silver, and one bronze. This marks the UAE's best performance since making its Asian Games debut in 1978 and also puts them second among Arab countries. The impressive tally of seven gold medals surpassed the previous UAE record of five gold medals set at Hangzhou. Notable gold medalists included Mariam Kareem in the women’s 400m hurdles, Kazbek Naguchev in men’s judo, and several athletes in jiu-jitsu, equestrian, and show jumping events.",
