South Korea claims multiple medals at 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games across shooting, fencing, and swimming

Thursday, 24 September 2026, 06:25 · 1 min read

South Korea secured several medals on the fourth day of competition at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games (a major multi-sport event held across Japan's Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya region), bringing its total gold count to eight. Shooter Choo Ga-eun won gold in the women's 10-metre air pistol with a new Asian record score of 246.3 points, while fencer Oh Sang-uk defended his men's sabre individual title for a second consecutive Games — extending South Korea's unbroken run in that event to five straight gold medals. Swimmer Hwang Sun-woo fell just short of defending his 200m freestyle crown, finishing with silver as China's Zhang Zhanshuo broke Hwang's own Asian continental record, though 16-year-old Kim Seung-won contributed two bronze medals in the pool; overall, South Korea trails Japan in the gold medal standings, with China dominating the competition with 48 golds.
