2011 Pan-European and Asia-Pacific Games

The 2011 Pan-European and Asia-Pacific Games (French: Jeux paneuropeens et asiatiques 2011, Spanish: Juegos paneuropeos y asia-pacifico 2011, Indonesian: Pesta Olahraga Pan-Eropa dan Asia-Pasifik tahun 2011), officially known as the XXII Pan-European and Asia-Pacific Games (French: Les XXIIeme jeux paneuropeens et asiatiques, Spanish: XXII juegos paneuropeos y asia-pacifico, Indonesian: Pesta Olahraga Pan-Eropa dan Asia-Pasifik ke-22), and commonly known as Solo 2011, was an inter-continental multi-sport event held in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia, between 5 June and 10 July, with preliminary events starting on 31 May.

Solo was selected over 5 cities in the 2004 PEAPG Session, which later signed the host city contract the following year. Some venues were reused after their hosting of the 2003 Asia-Pacific Games and the 2007 Afro-Asian Games. Before this bid, some European cities expressed interest, however failed to submit a bid.

The competition was held in Solo as well as the nearby metropolitan area (Surakarta, Sukoharjo, Wonogiri, Boyolali, Sragen, Klaten, Karanganyar) and Semarang. The competition marked the return of chess (which was last competed in the 1987 edition), beach handball, and beach softball.

The acclaimed ceremonies improved the image of the Games, and dispelled much of the negative reviews. The opening and closing ceremony reportedly cost $14.9 billion, much to the committee's surprise. This was also followed by the usage of 15 OLED TVs on the Main Stadium itself. The President of the IOC said that this improved the image of the Games and that Solo has made a good foundation of an Olympics bid. Eventually, Solo submitted a bid for the Games of the 35th Olympiad in 2032.

Indonesia topped the medal charts, and the president of the NOC called "their best performance yet". This was followed by Russia and United States, second and third, respectively. In 8 October, this was followed by the 15th edition of the ParaPan-European and Asia-Pacific Games.
