South Korean cyclist Shin Ji-eun claimed her country's first medal of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games (held across the Aichi prefecture region of central Japan), finishing third in the women's individual road cycling time trial on Sunday at the Shinshiro Cycling Road Course. The 24-year-old completed the course in 36:56.14, behind gold medallist Rinata Sultanova of Kazakhstan and silver medallist Zhang Hao of China. Shin, who had also placed on the podium at the Asian Road and Track Cycling Championships earlier this year, will next compete in track events — including madison, omnium, and team pursuit — beginning 29 September.
