This is the first time that a joint Korean team medaled at an international multi-sport competition. The medal will count to neither South Korea nor North Korea in the Asian Games medal standings. Instead, it will be awarded to "Korea."
The joint women's team is comprised of seven South Koreans and five North Koreans. From the South are Kang Cho-hee, Lee Ye-rin, Choi Yu-seul, Jang Hyun-jung, Byun Eun-jeong, Jo Min-ji and Kim Hyeon-hee. The canoers from the North are Jong Ye-song, Ho Su-jung, Cha Un-yong, Cha Un-gyong and Hyun Jae-chan. (Yonhap)
