South Korean judoka Mo Su-min secured a silver medal in the women's 78-kilogram kurash event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Monday. This marks the first kurash medal for South Korea at the Asian Games, and it's also the first female athlete to win a kurash medal since the sport was introduced to the Asian Games in 2018. Mo lost the final match to Uzbekistan's Pokizakhon Kamoldinova with a score of 10-0, winning the match through a khalol, a full-point throw that lands the opponent on their back.
Kurash is a wrestling-like sport originating from Central Asia, where athletes aim to score by throwing their opponents, with a khalol being the decisive victory move.
