The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, opening on the 19th, are now eight days away.
Back in the 1980s, there was a swimming star who earned the affectionate nickname "Asia's Mermaid" by capturing a total of five gold medals on the Asian Games stage. That star was Choi Yoon-hee.
She is hailed as a legend of Korean swimming, having claimed five gold medals in swimming events at the Asian Games alone.
