Lee Geon-hyuk (Daegu Public Facilities Management Corporation) has claimed two gold medals in shooting at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
On October 1, Lee won the men's 25m rapid fire pistol individual final at the Aichi Prefectural Toyota Comprehensive Shooting Range in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. After a fierce battle that went down to a second shoot-off, he defeated Su Lianbopan of China with 32 points (a total of 9 points in the shoot-off) to secure the championship.
Having already secured a team gold medal in the earlier preliminary round, Lee clinched his second title of the games by winning the individual event as well.
This marks the first time in 12 years that South Korea has swept both the individual and team events in rapid fire pistol at the Asian Games, following Kim Jun-hong at the 2014 Incheon Games.
South Korean shooting wrapped up its schedule at the games by adding two gold medals in the rapid fire pistol events, finishing with 3 gold, 5 silver, and 4 bronze medals.
