'Anma Ace'Huhung (Jecheon City Hall) won a brilliant silver medal at the Asian Gymnastics Championships held on his home turf.
Heo Woong won a silver medal with 14.633 points in the main event massage on the first day of the men's senior competition at the 2025 Asian Gymnastics Championships held at Jecheon Gymnasium in Chungcheongbuk-do on the 7th. 'Paris Olympic Silver Medalist'Nariman Kurbanov (14.933 points) of Kazakhstan finished second by 0.3 points. The bronze medal was taken by Vietnam's Dang Nguyen (14.233 points).
Heo Woong advanced to the final round as No. 1 in the preliminary round and showed a clean performance, but failed to cross Gurbanov's wall. However, it was enough to have expectations for growth ahead of the Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games next year. Heo Woong, who tried to win a medal in the massage final at the Paris Olympics last year but accidentally missed the podium, showed his skills comparable to those of Olympic medalists at the Asian Championships in the `Facebook' Asian Championships, raising expectations for an Asian Games medal.
