South Korean judoka Huh Mimi won the gold medal in the women's 57-kilogram class at the Nagoya Asian Games, KBC광주방송 reported on Thursday. The broadcaster described the result as breaking news.
Huh is a descendant of Korean independence activists, according to KBC광주방송. Reports from KBS 뉴스 and osen.co.kr also identified her that way.
Yonhap News reported that Huh advanced to the final before her gold-medal win. The same outlet said fellow South Korean judoka Lee Jun-hwan moved on to a bronze-medal contest.
osen.co.kr described the gold as Huh's first at an Asian Games and said it was a first for South Korean judo in her category.
The material reviewed did not include the name of Huh's opponent in the final, the match score, or the venue within Nagoya. It also did not give details of her earlier rounds beyond the semifinal result.
Coverage of the Nagoya Asian Games continues, with Lee Jun-hwan's bronze-medal match among the events still to be decided.
