Lee earned 49.7 points, placing him second to Japanese star Sorato Anraku, who earned a higher 74.5 points at the Portmesse Nagoya Exhibition Hall. Tomoa Narasaki of Japan claimed bronze with 44.9 points. This marked Lee's second consecutive Asian Games silver, preceded by one in the combined event in 2023.
