  "account": "South Korea's Lee Gun-hyeok claimed a historic gold medal in the men's individual rapid fire pistol shooting event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Thursday. This victory marked the first time a South Korean athlete has won two gold medals in the shooting competition. Lee defeated China's Su Lianbofan in a shoot-off during the final at the Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Gallery in Toyota, located around 25 kilometers east of Nagoya, the primary host city.\n\nThis win was Lee's second gold medal at the ongoing games, following his triumph in the team event earlier in the day. With this accomplishment, Lee completed a sweeping of both the individual and team titles in this rapid fire event for South Korea, a feat not achieved in the past 12 years. The men's rapid fire final consisted of eight series, each comprising five shots with a four-second time limit per series. A hit within the 9.7 scoring zone equaled one point, while a miss resulted in zero points. The process of eliminating the lowest-scoring finalists commenced after the third series and continued until the eighth series.\n\nLee led the final after three series, securing 13 points, while Su Lianbofan was in a tie for fourth place with 11 points. The other South Korean participating in the eight-man final, Yoon Seo-yeong, was also tied with 11 points.",
