Nagoya Asian Games: China sets shooting records and Chinese Taipei secures gold
The Nagoya Asian Games feature diverse competitive results across multiple disciplines. In shooting, the Chinese national team set a new world record in the men's 10m air rifle team event with a score of 1899.0, while Sheng Lihao secured a second gold medal in the individual event, breaking the Asian record.
Chinese Taipei has seen significant success in soft tennis, with Yu Kai-wen and Huang Shih-yuan winning the mixed doubles gold medal. In baseball, after an initial loss to South Korea, the Chinese Taipei team secured a dominant 15-0 victory over Thailand. The team's use of pitcher Lin Yi-wei as a surprise starter against Korea drew comparisons to previous successful tactical moves.
In other sports, the Chinese Taipei women's volleyball team defeated Kazakhstan 3-2 in a five-set match to advance in the ranking competition. Meanwhile, Malaysian martial artists from the Penang Jincwu Sports Club achieved notable success in Berlin, winning seven gold medals at the World Jincwu Martial Arts Cultural Exchange Conference.
However, the Nagoya Games have faced operational criticism. Reports indicate dissatisfaction regarding accommodation, meal quality, and logistics. Some observers attribute these issues to the absence of major Japanese agencies due to previous corruption scandals and the involvement of a French firm, GL events, in managing infrastructure and accreditation.
