NAGOYA, Japan - South Korean rower Park Hyun-su secured bronze in the lightweight men's single sculls at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Thursday, marking the nation's inaugural rowing medal in the event. The 30-year-old finished third in the 2,000-meter race with a time of 6:53.35 at the Nagaragawa International Regatta Course, located 20 kilometers west of Nagoya.
Hong Kong's Chiu Hin Chun claimed gold, completing the 2,000-meter race in 6:50.32, while Iran's Amirhossein Mahmoodpour Shahrestani edged out Park for silver with a time of 6:52.59.
Park started the race in third place but surged to second by the 1,500-meter mark, leading by just one second over Mahmoodpour Shahrestani. However, the Iranian's fastest split over the final 500 meters proved decisive, allowing him to snatch the silver medal. Park had previously won gold in the same event at the 2018 Asian Games.
