South Korean race walker Choe Byeong-kwang claimed a bronze medal in the men's half marathon race walk at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, finishing in 1:28:35 to earn his country's first athletics medal of the Games. China's Shi Shengji took gold in 1:23:32, with Japan's Toshikazu Yamanishi claiming silver. The medal was particularly significant for the 35-year-old Choe, who secured his first podium finish across four Asian Games appearances and hinted the event may have been his last.
