  "summary": "South Korean Olympic boxing bronze medalist Im Ae-ji will miss the upcoming Asian Games due to a knee injury sustained during training, according to the Boxing Association of Korea. The 27-year-old, who won bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics, tore a ligament in her left knee during a sparring session and underwent surgery that will keep her out of the Sept. 19 event in Japan. Im had been set to compete in the women's 54-kilogram division and had previously lost her first matches in both of her previous Asian Games appearances in 2018 and 2023. In response to her injury, the boxing association has announced that Yang Yi-young, the runner-up in the national team trials, will replace Im at the Asian Games.",
