In the women's javelin throw event, Gim Gyeong-ae won South Korea's first medal in javelin since the 2002 Busan Asian Games. She took home bronze in the event, after missing out on the medals in 2010 and 2014.

Over in soft tennis, Kim Jin-woong won the men's singles final on Wednesday, defeating his Indonesian opponent 4-sets-to-2 to earn a gold medal.
