At the last Jakarta Games, only the men’s and women’s individual competitions were held,

Korea won the most medals among the participating countries, with one gold medal, two silver medals, and one bronze medal.

At this year’s Hangzhou Games, the men’s and women’s team competitions have been revived a total of four gold medals are at stake, with Korea aiming to dominate all events.

Olympic

In particular, this tournament is the first Asian Games to be held since Jeon Woong-tae (Gwangju Metropolitan City Hall)

won the bronze medal in the men’s individual event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics,

becoming the first Olympic medal in history, so the national team’s determination is even more special.

Jeon Woong-tae, the star of Korea’s modern pentathlon, is aiming for a double gold medal with his second consecutive win in the individual event at the Asian Games,

while Jin-hwa Jeong, Ji-hoon Lee (hereinafter referred to as LH), and Chang-wan Seo will participate together in the men’s division.

Women’s Division

In the women’s division, Kim Se-hee (BNK Savings Bank) and Kim Seon-woo (Gyeonggi Provincial Office),

who shared silver and bronze medals at the Jakarta Games, are still alive,

while newcomers Seong Seung-min (Korea National Sports University) and Jang Ha-eun (LH) have joined.

Each country can participate in the men’s and women’s divisions,

but the ranking is determined by adding up the scores of the top three players from each country in the team competition,

so an invisible competition awaits among the national team players to stand on the podium in both the individual competition and the team competition.

Horseback Riding

In horseback riding, where there is no distinction between men and women,

Korea has the second-most medals at the Asian Games with 15 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and 6 bronze medals, following Japan (18 gold, 15 silver, and 10 bronze medals).

Kim Hyuk was the only athlete to win a bronze medal in the individual competition and a silver medal in the team competition.

In the aftermath, Korean equestrianism ended up with ‘no gold’ at the Asian Games for the first time in 24 years.

Hangzhou competition

both individual and team competitions were held in dressage, steeplechase, all-around horseback riding,

and Lim Seong-no, Lee Joseph, Jeong Cheol-hee, and Heo Jeong-hoon were selected for dressage.

Park Soo-il was named as the general magic representative.

Triathlon

Korea won two silver medals and one bronze medal.

The silver medal came from the mixed relay at the 2014 Incheon and 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games,

the bronze medal was won by Jang Yun-jeong in the women’s individual event at the 2010 Guangzhou Games.

Kim Ji-yeon (Incheon City Sports Council) and Jeong Hye-rim (Jeonbuk Triathlon Association) will participate in the women’s division,

aiming to win the mixed relay for the third time in a row.

Park Chan-wook (Tongyeong City Hall) and Kim Gyu-ri (Seoul City Hall),

who came in third place in the men’s and women’s division before the selection, joined the national team as reserve members of the mixed relay.

In this event, which is also called the ‘Triathlon‘ because it involves swimming, cycling, and running,

Japan shows absolute strength, winning 8 of the 10 gold medals in previous competitions.
