South Korea has qualified for the men's 4x100-meter relay final at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after a disqualification decision was overturned. The team of Kim Si-on, Joel Jin Nwamadi, Daniel Biwesa, and Lee Jae-seong was initially disqualified during the heats due to a violation of the baton exchange rule between runners Kim and Nwamadi.
Despite this setback, the team's coaching staff appealed the decision, which was accepted by the jury of appeal. As a result, the South Korean team was reinstated, and they will now compete in the final scheduled for Monday at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium in Nagoya, Japan.
