A JUDGING controversy hit the combat sport of taekwondo at the Asian Games and South Korean swim star Park Tae-hwan returned to the pool to claim his third gold medal in Guangzhou yesterday.
Yang Shu-chun of Chinese Taipei, easily leading her under-49-kilogram match, was disqualified for using illegal sensors on each shoe.
Yang Jin-suk, secretary general of the World Taekwondo Federation, told a news conference that officials noticed in a pre-match inspection that Yang Shu-chun appeared to have one extra sensor and told her not to use them.
The judges noticed as the round progressed that she was using them, so disqualified her with 12 seconds remaining in the first round of her match. The 25-year-old Taiwanese competitor was leading Thi Hau Vu of Vietnam 9-0 at the time. Vu advanced to the quarterfinals.
At the velodrome, paramedics rushed onto the track for the second straight day after a crash in the keirin final knocked two men out of the race.
China's Zhang Lei fell to the track. Iran's Mohammad Parash ran over Zhang and then flew off his bike. Paramedics put a neck brace on Parash and carried him off on a stretcher.
Azizulhasni Awang of Malaysia won gold in the crash-filled keirin race, Vladimir Tuychiev of Uzbekistan was first in the men's points race. China's Zhang Lei and Guo Shuang won the men's and women's sprints, respectively.
All six gold medals in shooting were awarded early yesterday, with Pak Myong Won of North Korea winning the running target mixed title and leading his compatriots to the team gold.
Hwang Young-shik of South Korea, making his Asian Games debut, won the individual dressage gold medal, his second in the equestrian competition.
Sui Lu of China won two more titles in gymnastics yesterday, bringing her total to four gold medals.
Sui soared on the floor exercise and the balance beam, her signature events, winning golds to go with the all-around and team titles she collected earlier in the week. The 18-year-old was the most successful gymnast of the games.
The two other winners in the women's floor exercise were silver medalist Mai Yamagishi of Japan and Jo Hyun-joo of South Korea in third.
South Korea's Yang Hak-seon nabbed the gold from China in the vault yesterday. Feng Zhe of China won the silver and Stanislav Valiyev of Kazakhstan won bronze.
Feng, the reigning world champion on the parallel bars, later showed his mastery of that apparatus with a gold medal-winning routine, easily beating silver medalist Anton Fokin of Uzbekistan and Ildar Valeyev of Kazakhstan, who took the bronze.
South Korean freestyle star Park, an upstart teammate and a Japanese medley expert claimed gold yesterday, briefly halting a runaway victory by host China in the swimming medals table.
Park, the reigning Olympic champion in the 400 free, added the 100 title to his wins in the 200 and 400. His 18-year-old teammate Jeong Da-rae won the women's 200 breaststroke. And Japan's Ken Takakuwa took gold in the men's 200 individual medley.
China still held the advantage in the pool with 22 golds, compared to Japan's six and South Korea's four.
