The 2016 edition featured more sports than the previous edition.[3] 44 sports and 12 demonstration sports will be held in various venues scattered around West Java.[4]
A total of 2501 medals - 763 gold, 758 silver, and 980 bronze - were awarded to athletes.
The Games were marred with controversies in the competition itself and other non-competition related aspects. At least 15 of the 44 sports contested faced problems involving unfair judging, intimidating supporters, or sudden change of rules.[5] Boycott from other provinces also occurred in judo[6] and synchronized swimming.[7]
