  "account": "In a thrilling Asian Games final, South Korean badminton doubles stars Lee So-hee and Baek Hana defied the odds to claim their first gold medal since 2002. Facing a 15-12 deficit in the deciding third game, the duo fought back and triumphed 21-18, securing a three-game victory. Baek Hana admitted she had no recollection of the third game's events, having been in the zone, hitting shots instinctively without conscious thought. Coach Lee Kyung-won, who won gold in 2002, emphasized the team's resilience in challenging situations. Baek Hana acknowledged the match's intensity, noting her exhaustion toward the end. Despite some cramping, the two badminton stars emerged triumphant, having defeated the Chinese duo Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning twice this year.",
