Seo Chae-hyun, the star of Korean sports <a href="https://bitcomme.com/seo-chae-hyun-wins-gold-lee-do-hyun-takes-bronze-in-sport-climbing/” title=”Seo Chae-hyun wins gold; Lee Do-hyun takes bronze in sport climbing”>climbing, finally won the gold medal at the 2026 Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games. Having risen to the top in the lead in the main event, she shook off her disappointment three years ago and became the first Asian Games gold medalist as a Korean female sports climber.
Seo Chae-hyun won the gold medal in the women’s lead final of the sports climbing competition held at the Nagoya Port Messe Exhibition Hall in Aichi Prefecture on the 3rd, beating Mori Ai (Japan, 47+). Lead is a competition to determine who climbs the highest within the time limit (6 minutes) for a 15-meter-high artificial rock wall. Here, Seo Chae-hyun recorded the top, finishing completely until the last hold (handle).
Seo Chae-hyun won a combine silver medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, and she had to swallow her regret because she was unable to finish the game due to rain at the time. Seo Chae-hyun, who was desperate, warmed up while winning the bronze medal in the bouldering of this competition, then even finished the lead and succeeded in “golden climbing.”
Korean sports climbing produced the Asian Games gold medalist for the first time in eight years since Chun Jong-won, who won the gold medal in the men’s combine at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games. Seo Chae-hyun became the first Korean female athlete to win a gold medal at the Asian Games.
