The Combine is a bouldering competition that involves climbing a 15m high artificial rock wall to the highest level within 6 minutes, and bouldering, which involves climbing through various artificial structures installed on a 4.5m rock wall without a rope in less than 4 minutes.

Lead and bouldering competitions are held separately, and the rankings are determined by scoring the two competitions.

Lee Do-hyun is strong in bouldering, but he also received a perfect score in the lead in the preliminaries on this day.

Sport climbing first became an official sport at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.

A total of three events, including speed individual, speed relay, and combined, were adopted as official events.

At that time, in Korea, Cheon Jong-won (North Face) won a gold medal in the men's combined, Sasol (Central Gyeongnam Climbing) won a silver medal, and Kim Ja-in won a bronze medal in the women's combined.

‘Defending champion’ Chun Jong-won is aiming to win a medal at the Asian Games for the second time in a row by passing the preliminaries in 5th place with a total score of 164.0 points.

Korean archery will attempt to sweep the men's and women's team competitions on the 6th.

The men's team, consisting of Lee Woo-seok (Kolon), Oh Jin-hyuk (Hyundai Steel), and Kim Je-deok (Yecheon County Office).

The women's team, consisting of Im Si-hyun (Korea National Sport University), Ansan (Gwangju Women's University), and Choi Mi-sun (Gwangju Bank), will compete at 9:40 a.m. on this day.

The match will be held first in the order of the women's quarterfinals, semifinals, and medal match, and the men's quarterfinals will begin at 2:30 p.m.

The women's team will start the quarterfinals against Indonesia and the men's team will face Japan.

Im Si-hyun and An San advanced to the finals of the individual recurve event and are working hard to jointly win the gold medal in the team event a day before the gold medal 'family feast' to be held on the 7th.

Im Si-hyun, the ‘youngest ace’, enjoyed an upward trend by mining the first gold vein of Korean archery in this tournament in the mixed team event (mixed event) in which he competed in a pair with Woo-seok Lee (Kolon) on the 4th.

The men's national team, where Lee Woo-seok and Oh Jin-hyuk were both eliminated from the individual medal spot, pledges to regain their honor in the team event by demonstrating teamwork.
