South Korea adds three golds at Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games but trails China and Japan

Saturday, 3 October 2026, 06:20 · 1 min read

South Korea won three more gold medals at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan on Friday, taking its total to 33: gold came in men's team recurve archery, League of Legends esports (with star player Faker sitting out the final) and Ha Jee-min's fourth Asiad title in men's dinghy sailing. The haul could have been larger, as South Korea also took several silvers and bronzes, including a loss to India in the women's archery team final and a 1-0 women's football bronze win over China. South Korea sits a distant third behind China and Japan and looks unlikely to reach its target of 40 to 45 golds as the Games near their end.
