Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games Special: The Taegeukgi Fluttering in the Hiroshima Sky... What Happened at the Turning Point of 35 km

The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games open on September 19.

At the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games, Hwang Young-jo won the gold medal in the marathon with a time of 2 hours, 11 minutes and 13 seconds.

Crossing the finish line at Peace Park, the site of the atomic bomb drop, he recreated the emotion of earning the title of the Hero of Montjuic with his gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics two years prior, bringing great joy to the entire nation.
