MARIANA Mohammad crashed out of the Asian Games in a bloody accident that marred the women's time trial yesterday, while Chinese table tennis players continued their domination in Guangzhou.
Mohammad, a 32-year-old Malaysian cyclist, had the leading intermediate time when she collided with a fence on the side of the course and cartwheeled her bike. Malaysian team officials said she had a broken collarbone and a deep cut on her chin, but was in a stable condition after treatment at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital.
Lee Min-hye went on to win the 35.6-kilometer race in 49 minutes, 38.35 seconds, giving South Korea victories in both the men's and women's time trials.
Choe Hyeong-min gave South Korea its first gold in the men's time trial in 24 years when he completed three laps of the 17.8-km course in 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16.12 seconds.
Ra Un Sim scored twice in extra time as two-time defending champion North Korea beat arch-rival South Korea 3-1 to reach the women's football final.
Japan edged China 1-0 with a goal in extra time in the earlier semifinal. It was a rare setback for Team China, which is dominating the standings with 138 gold and 270 medals overall.
Two of those came as expected, with Li Xiaoxia rallying from a 0-3 deficit to beat Chinese teammate Guo Yue in the women's table tennis final and Ma Long defeating compatriot Wang Hao in the men's decider.
Another bankable gold medal was delivered in the women's badminton final, with Wang Shixian beating Chinese teammate Wang Xin 21-18, 21-15.
China's Lin Dan will take on world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia in the men's final today. Indonesia won the men's doubles, with Markis Kido and Hendra Seiawan saving a championship point in the second game before rallying to beat Malaysia's Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong 16-21, 26-24, 21-19.
South Korea was second on the medals standings with 52 gold medals, well clear of Japan's 29. Iran was next with eight gold, followed on seven by China's Hong Kong and Thailand, which collected six yesterday including three in sailing and both sepak takraw team events.
"Our athletes have been performing well ... Now the situation is beyond our expectations," Lee Kee-heung, leader of the South Korean delegation, said.
Another Korean gold could come in archery, where 18-year-old Kim Woo-jin set a world record score of 1,387.
Kenki Sato won the individual eventing gold for Japan, which also won the team eventing title at equestrian.
The featured men's field hockey match saw India edging arch-rival Pakistan 3-2 to secure a semifinal spot.
South Korea swept all four gold medals at golf, including both team events. Kim Hyun-soo won the women's with a 11-under-par 277 total, while Kim Meen-whe won the men's tournament with a four-round total of 15-under 273, nine clear of Miguel Luis Tabuena of the Philippines.
There was almost as much interest at the rear of the field, where Ali Ahmad Fazel of Afghanistan closed with a 40-over final round of 112 to finish at an endurance-testing 179 over.
