S. Korea's Kim Min-young wins 1st kurash gold at Asian Games

NAGOYA, Japan — South Korea's Kim Min-young won the gold medal in the women's +87-kilogram kurash event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Tuesday, giving the country its first Asiad title in the wrestling-like sport. Kim beat Chinese Taipei's Shih Liu Li-ling 5-0 in the event's final at Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Kim became the first South Korean athlete to win a gold medal in kurash since the wrestling-like sport was introduced to the Asian Games in 2018. South Korea has won two silvers and two bronzes at the Asian Games, including one silver by Mo Su-min in the women's 78-kg kurash event the previous day. Kurash is a type of wrestling practiced in Central Asia. Athletes attempt to score by throwing their opponents, with a khalol, a throw that lands the opponent on their back, declared a victory, while other ground techniques are prohibited. Kim, 21, who switched to kurash from judo, won her round of 16 and the quarterfinals by a khalol (a full point). In the semifinals, she edged out Arailym Shegenova of Kazakhstan 1-0. In the gold medal match, Kim took five

Meet Kang Jun-i, TV skateboarding prodigy turned Asian Games champion

Kang Jun-i, 17, has won Korea's first-ever Asian Games gold medal in skateboarding, bringing renewed attention to his appearance on SBS' "Genius Discovery Team" seven years ago. Kang scored 180.85 points in the men's street final at the 20th Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, finishing ahead of Japanese skateboarding stars Toa Sasaki and Ginwoo Onodera. Street skateboarding involves riding a board on the kind of obstacles found in urban environments, such as stairs, handrails, rails, ramps and benches. This marks the first time a Korean skateboarder has won an Asian Games gold medal since the sport made its official debut at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Game. The country's previous best result was a bronze medal won by Eun Ju-won in the men's street event in 2018. The high school student was overcome with emotion after his victory, saying, "It feels like a dream. I can't believe it." He went on to say winning gold at the Los Angeles Olympics would be his next goal. Kang first picked up a skateboard at the age of 8. In 2019, when he was 12, he appeared on SBS' "Genius Discovery Team" as a skateboardi
