(Asiad) S. Korea advances to men's 4x100m relay final after disqualification overturned

South Korea has secured their place in the men's 4x100m relay final at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after a disqualification decision was overturned. The team, consisting of Kim Si-on, Joel Jin Nwamadi, Daniel Biwesa, and Lee Jae-seong, was initially disqualified during the heats for an alleged violation of the baton exchange rule.

However, the coaching staff appealed the decision, and their appeal was accepted by the jury of appeal. As a result, South Korea will compete in the final, which is scheduled for Monday. The team's coach, Ha Kyung-su, expressed relief at the overturning of the disqualification, stating that the jury had determined that Kim and Nwamadi had indeed exchanged the baton outside the exchange zone.
