  "summary": "Swimmer Kim Woo-min has withdrawn from two races at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games due to a shoulder injury. The Korea Swimming Federation announced that Kim will not defend his gold medal in the men's 800-meter freestyle event, scheduled for Thursday, nor participate in the men's 200m freestyle heats. The 25-year-old had been competing with a partially torn labrum and rotator cuff in his left shoulder, having helped South Korea win bronze in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay on Monday. Kim, a top mid-distance swimmer for South Korea, previously won the world title and Olympic bronze in the 400m freestyle in 2024, as well as a world bronze in the same event in 2025. He was also the only South Korean swimmer to win three gold medals at the 2023 Asian Games.",
