Shown below is a screenshot from the Asian Games site. Why isn’t the Kuwait flag shown as the others are ? (Click to enlarge image)
Answer : The IOC had suspended Kuwait’s Olympic Committee, hence the athletes are playing under the banner of the IOC

Kuwait’s Olympic Committee was suspended by the IOC for Government Interference, thus only the participants from Kuwait are allowed to participate but under the Olympic flag.
as the kuwaiti olympic commitee is suspended,hence they are participating in the ongoing guangzhou asian games under the olympic flag and not their own flag!!!!
hence the difference in the figure
Due to the suspension of the country’s Olympic Committee by IOC.
Athletes from Kuwait are participating in the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou from 12 November to 27 November 2010 under the Olympic flag due to the suspension of the country’s Olympic Committee.
