Yachting Legend Ha Jee-min Claims 4th Asian Games Gold Medal of His Career

South Korean yachting's "living legend," Ha Jee-min (37, Haeundae-gu Office), has captured his fourth career Asian Games gold medal at his fifth appearance at the games.

Ha finished first overall with 9 points in the men's dinghy final race at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, held at the Gamagori Kaiyo Yacht Harbor in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, on October 2.

Having achieved a three-peat by sweeping gold medals in the single-handed dinghy Laser event at the 2010 Guangzhou, 2014 Incheon, and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, he bounced back from the disappointment of winning silver at the previous 2022 Hangzhou Games to reclaim the top of the podium at this event.
