South Korea wins silver in mixed team air rifle event at Asian Games

Tuesday, 22 September 2026, 06:41 · 1 min read

South Korea's Ban Hyo-jin and Park Ha-jun claimed silver in the 10-metre air rifle mixed team final at the Asian Games (a continent-wide multi-sport competition held this year in Nagoya, Japan), finishing with 502.9 points at the Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Gallery in Toyota. China took gold with a world record score of 507.1 points, while Japan earned bronze. The result marks South Korea's first shooting silver of the Games, though the country is still chasing its first gold in the sport after a dramatic comeback in which Park's final-shot score of 10.9 edged Japan for second place; Ban, the 2024 Olympic champion and 2025 world title holder in the individual event, said the pair's near-miss turnaround made the medal all the more rewarding.
