National judo players, a traditional sport, will lead the race for medals at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

On the 24th, the first day of the judo event, Ahn Baul (Namyangju City Hall), a leading figure in the men's 66kg class, will compete.

An Baul, the gold medalist at the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games, will attempt to win his second consecutive Asian Games title through this tournament.

An Baul had difficulty preparing for the competition last month due to an injury to the muscle behind his thigh (hamstring), but he recently recovered and improved his condition again.

An Baul's biggest competitor is Japan's Ryoma Tanaka.

Tanaka is a rising star in Japanese judo who won a silver medal at last year's Asian Championships.

In addition to Baul Ahn, Korea will also challenge for the championship on this day with Lee Ha-rim (Korea Racing Association), ranked third in the world in the men's 60kg class.

On the 25th, Lee Jun-hwan (Yongin University), who is emerging as the next-generation ace of the Korean national team, will appear in the men's 81kg class.

Lee Jun-hwan immediately emerged as the hope of Korean judo by repeatedly defeating 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Takanori Nagase (Japan) and bronze medalist Shamil Borkhashvili (Austria) at the Grand Slam held in June last year.

They are achieving meaningful results in every international competition they participate in, including winning a bronze medal at the World Championships last May.

On the 26th, the men's and women's heavyweights Kim Min-jong (Yangpyeong County Office) and Kim Ha-yoon (Ansan City Hall) will attempt to win a medal.

However, in the women's heavyweight division, the host country, China, is aiming to win, so they must overcome their home turf.

On the 27th, they will aim to win a medal in the men's and women's mixed team event.

Heo Mimi (Gyeongbuk Sports Council), who has emerged as a star of the women's team, will participate in the mixed team event.

After Mimi Heo, a Korean from Japan, renounced her Japanese nationality in 2021, she joined the Korean national team and achieved great results in each competition she participated in.

Mimi Heo is considered a strong medal candidate for the 2024 Paris Olympics, but she does not compete in individual events.

Korean Judo lost to Japan after a dispute over the decision at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games and won a bronze medal in the mixed team event, but is aiming for revenge in this tournament.

There is a possibility that the North Korean national team will participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, leading to a confrontation between North and South Korea.

North Korea registered a total of seven athletes, including Kim Chol-gwang in the men's 73kg class.

Kim Cheol-gwang is a player who participated in the mixed team event as a single team with Korean players at the 2018 World Championships.
