(Asiad) S. Korea's Mo Su-min wins silver in kurash, 1st medal at Asian Games

South Korea's Mo Su-min claimed the silver medal in women's 78-kilogram kurash at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games held in Nagoya, Japan. This victory marks the first time Korea has won a kurash medal at the Asian Games. Mo fell to Uzbekistan's Pokizakhon Kamoldinova 10-0 in the final match at Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall, securing the silver with a full point khalol.

This win also makes Mo's silver the first kurash medal won by a female athlete since the sport was first introduced to the Asian Games in 2018. Prior to this, South Korean male kurash wrestlers had won one silver and one bronze at earlier Asian Games. Kurash is a form of wrestling originating from Central Asia, where athletes aim for victory by throwing their opponents, with a khalol being the decisive throw that lands an opponent on their back, while other ground techniques are not allowed.
