[Special Correspondent Nian Miaoyun/Nagoya Report] The Nagoya Asian Games concluded today, and the Taiwanese team’s schedule has come to an end. This time, the Taiwanese team won a total of 5 golds, 17 silvers, and 33 bronzes, with a total of 55 medals, ranking 15th on the medal list. However, compared with the 19 golds in the last Hangzhou Asian Games, the number of gold medals is indeed much less. This is also the first time that the gold medals have not reached double digits since the 2006 Duha Asian Games.

The Nagoya Asian Games opened on September 19 and concluded with a closing ceremony on October 4. The Taiwanese delegation's schedule ended at noon today, with a total of 5 golds, 17 silvers, and 33 bronzes. It ranked 15th on the medal list, with a total of 55 medals, and ranked 7th in the total number of medals.

The five gold medals this time are soft tennis Yu Kaiwen/Huang Shiyuan, Wang Guanhong in the men's 200m butterfly, track and field high jump Fu Zhaoxuan, Lin Yuting in the women's 60kg boxing and tennis women's doubles Xie Shuwei/Liang Enshuo.

However, in the past, it was very difficult for Taiwan to win gold medals in track and field and swimming events. Fu Zhaoxuan's gold was also the first Asian Games men's track and field gold medal in the team's history in 60 years; Wang Guanhong was the first Taiwanese male swimmer to win an Asian Games gold medal in history.

The Padres' chance of reversal failed in the 9th inning. Frenchman France's deep fly ball hit the roof and was ruled out. The Brewers narrowly won.

The Padres lost to the Brewers 2:3 in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. They had a chance to come back in the ninth inning with France's 2-run cannon, but his deep fly ball hit the roof of American Family Stadium and was caught by the left fielder and was ruled out. In the end, the Padres lost by 1 run. According to the rules of the field, a ball that hits the roof above the inbounds area is still a live ball, and if it is caught, the batter is out. Brewers closer Megill said after the game that he thought it was over at first, but the referee confirmed that the ball was a live ball and the result was favorable to the team.
