Winning a gold medal at the Asian Games has been always a goal for Korean fencer Nam Hyun-hee. But grabbing a gold at this year’s Asian Games in Indonesia will have an extra special meaning: becoming the Korean athlete with the most summer Asiad gold medals. Nam currently has six gold medals from her last four Asian Games, tied with swimmer Park Tae-hwan. But with Park deciding not to participate in the 18th Asian Games next month, Nam can break the tie to become the most decorated Korean athlete in the summer Asiad. The 36-year-old, who also has a silver and a bronze at the Olympic Games, said it’s a pity that she can’t compete with Park at the Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. “I thought I would get more motivation if Park competed,” Nam said at the National Training Center in Jincheon, North Chungcheong, on Tuesday. “There are more medals up for grabs in swimming, so I could have some disadvantage, but I really wanted to compete with him.” Nam, a foil fencer, could have missed her fifth Asian Games after undergoing knee cartilage surgery in May. However, she focused on rehabilitation and proved her reputation by helping Korea win a team gold at the Asian Fencing Championship in Bangkok last month. “I had some pressure because I was the last fencer in order,” she said. “But after winning gold, I felt comfortable because my performance was better than I thought.” Nam has never missed a podium finish in continent-level tournaments, and that is the reason why she is confident that she can grab her seventh gold medal.
