South Korean shooter Lee Dae-myung won the men’s 10-meter air pistol and helped secure a victory in the team competition on the second morning. Later, Gim won the women’s 10-meter air pistol and South Korea the women’s team gold.

“I got the gold medal with my baby, I feel so happy,” Gim said through an interpreter.

Jia Rui helped deliver Macau’s first-ever gold medal at the Asian Games by winning the Daoshu/Gunshu all-round title in the Chinese martial arts of Wushu.

Macau had won five silver and 10 bronze medals in previous Asian Games, but the 23-year-old individual world champion clinched Sunday’s gold with an acrobatic routine involving flips and fast sword movement.

“In Macau, wushu is a hobby for many people, and this will be a big step for the sport in my country,” he said.

India, meanwhile, won its first gold of the games when Pankaj Advani beat Nay Thway Oo of Malaysia 3-2 in men’s English billiards.

China, which won 18 of the 28 golds on the first day, added to its tally Sunday with wins in both single slalom kayak and canoe and in track cycling’s team sprint event.

China topped the medal count at the last Asian Games in Doha with 166 gold medals and is on its way to repeating that. There are 476 gold medals to be awarded in Guangzhou.

Japanese triathletes finished first and second in the men’s race just 24 hours after two of their female compatriots took the major medals in the women’s event.

On Sunday, Yuichi Hosoda and Ryosuke Yamamoto finished one-two to make Japan the undisputed triathlon champions of the Asian Games. On Saturday, Mariko Adachi and Akane Tsuchihashi of Japan won gold and silver, respectively, in the women’s race.

Hosoda finished in one hour, 52 minutes, 15 seconds, with Yamamoto 25 seconds behind. Dmitry Gaag of Kazakhstan, who won at the 2006 Doha Asian Games and who served a two-year doping ban for EPO in between, took the bronze in 1:53.08.

Teng Zhiqiang won the canoe slalom single and Huang Cunguang the kayak version while the Chinese team of Zhang Lei, Zhang Miao and Cheng Changsong beat Japan in the gold medal final in the cycling men’s sprint. Iran beat Malaysia for the bronze.

China increased its gold count to 23, well ahead of South Korea’s 10 and Japan’s six. Judo, swimming and weightlifting were among those events scheduled later among Sunday’s 35 finals.

In morning swim heats, Olympic champions Kosuke Kitajima of Japan and Park Tae-hwan of South Korea made their first appearances.

Breaststroke specialist Kitajima was second in his 50-meter heat with a time of 28.38 seconds, 0.53 seconds behind China’s Li Xiayan. Overall, the four-time Olympic gold medalist qualified fifth for the final, trailing Li, domestic rival Ryo Tateishi and swimmers from Iran and Kazakhstan.

Park, the 400-meter freestyle champion from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is trying to recover from a disappointing showing at last year’s world championships, where he didn’t qualify for the final.

The 21-year-old Park won his heat in the 200 freestyle but qualified only third for the final behind Chinese swimmers Sun Yang and Zhang Lin, runner-up to Park at the 2008 Games.
