Expecting news of the Korean team's gold medal during the Chuseok holiday

During the Chuseok holiday from the 24th to the 27th, it is expected that the successive 'golden achievements' of the Korean athletes participating in the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games will further enrich Chuseok.

On the 24th, entering the middle of the competition, Yeo Seo-jeong (Jecheon City Hall), a leading figure in artistic gymnastics, will compete in the women's vault finals held at the Nagoya City Gymnasium in Japan at 5:55 p.m.

Yeo Yeo-jeong, the vault gold medalist at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games, did not participate in the 2022 Hangzhou Games held in 2023 to focus on the World Championships, which will determine a spot in the team event for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and dreams of regaining the top spot by participating in the Asian Games for the first time in eight years.

Yeo Yeo-jeong received 14.466 points in the preliminaries on the 22nd, beating her rival, North Korea's Ahn Chang-ok (13.900 points), and advanced to the finals in first place and entering the finals in good condition.

Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance), the number one badminton women's singles player, is expected to challenge for her first gold medal in the competition on the 24th.

If the women's badminton team makes it to the team semifinals, the finals will be held at the Aichi Prefecture Ichinomiya City Gymnasium starting at 9:30 a.m. on the 24th.

Attention is being paid to whether Ahn Se-young, who is aiming to win two consecutive women's singles titles for the first time in Asian Games history in the individual match starting on the 25th, will be able to lead the team to two consecutive wins.

High jump star Woo Sang-hyuk (Yongin City Hall) will begin his 'golden leap' with the preliminaries held at Nagoya Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium on the 24th.

Woo Sang-hyuk, who ranked 10th at the 2014 Incheon Games and won silver medals at both the Jakarta-Palembang and Hangzhou Games, is challenging for his first Asian Games gold medal.

Mutaz Essa Barsim (Qatar), who has made a name for himself as the world's best high jumper, will also participate in this Asian Games.

After the men's high jump preliminaries, the finals will be held on the 27th.

It is expected that there will be news of a gold medal in fencing held at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname on the 25th and 26th.

On the 25th, the day of Chuseok, the women's epee team, led by Song Sera (Busan Metropolitan City Hall), will participate in the team competition, aiming for their second consecutive victory.

Song Se-ra, who won the individual competition on the 22nd, the first day of fencing at this competition, is aiming to win two gold medals in the competition.

On the 26th, the men's saber team competition, a key event in Korean fencing, will be held.

Oh Sang-wook (Daejeon Metropolitan City Hall) and Do Gyeong-dong (Daegu Metropolitan City Hall) will participate and continue their Asian Games team gold medal streak that began in Incheon in 2014.

On the 27th, the last day of the holiday, attention is focused on team ball games.

The women's handball team will play its final full-league match against Japan at Entrio, Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture, starting at 6 p.m. on this day.

In this year's women's handball competition, rankings are determined based on full league performance, and there is a high possibility that the match between Korea and Japan will be a de facto gold medal match.

Women's handball, which won a silver medal after losing to Japan at the Hangzhou Games, is eager to get back to the top after eight years.

If the baseball team makes it to the finals, the finals will also be held on the 27th at 6:30 p.m. to determine whether Korea will advance to the top for the fifth time in a row.
