The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games open on the 19th.

Back in the 1980s, there was a swimming star on the Asian Games stage who won a total of 5 gold medals and earned the affectionate nickname "Asian Mermaid." That star was Choi Yoon-hee.

She is called a legend of South Korean swimming, having won 5 gold medals in swimming events at the Asian Games alone.
