On Thursday in men’s handball, defending champion South Korea takes on Qatar, which has been on a roll after winning this year’s Asian championships tournament with their European-born scorers.

The home team is eyeing its sixth Asiad gold medal in the sport.

The Korean women’s volleyball squad is also ready to take revenge on China, to whom it lost at the Guangzhou Asian Games in full sets.

Global Korean star Kim Yeon-koung is leading the undefeated team into the gold-medal contest.

The men’s 4x100-meter relay team of Yeo Hosua, Cho Kyu-won, Oh Kyong-soo and Kim Kuk-young is aiming to become the first South Korean squad to win the Asiad gold medal in the track and field competition. (Yonhap)
