BREAKING: Ruth Jebet of Bahrain reinstated as winner of 3,000m steeplechase (see
11:54-12:09)
Good night!
22:30 A total of 32 gold medals to come tomorrow, including a mammoth 12 in canoe sprint. It is also the first day of diving action and the last day in badminton and road cycling, while there is much more to come in athletics and wrestling.
Catch you as ever, at 09:00 tomorrow morning! And what timing, I am leaving you at literally the moment South Korea are awarded gold, in of the longest medals ceremonies I've ever seen. So on that note, it is good night!
22:28 Another great day for China, daylight for South Korea in second place, and a brilliant evening on the track for Qatar, A first couple of medals also, including a gold, for Saudi Arabia, while Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia were other nations to excel today.

22:27 Right, as the gold medals are awarded we are going to shut things down after another great day today. Records in athletics, history in wrestling, drama on the greens, brilliance in the badminton, and plenty more in cycling, archery, bowling, beach volleyball and sepak takraw. It's definitely been one of the best days of the Games.
22:24 Her success slightly makes up for the envious feelings the Japanese baseball team must be experiencing when they look to their right, and see South Korea on the top step of the podium.
![Japanese flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Japanese_flag.png)
Given this context, it's not surprising she won again today.

21:14 Right once this medal ceremony concludes I am going to have to get off sharpish, so I am going to start wrapping things up on the blog after another compelling day.
Gold for South Korea in baseball!
21:07 Most of the fans and press corps have left their seat. But not to leave the stadium, only to get as far forward as possible to watch, and photograph, the medals ceremony which is imminent here. A couple of good moments I didn't get around to mentioning earlier. Firstly, a massive mishit into the top tier of the stand was wonderfully caught, in a baseball club, by a boy who couldn't have been older than nine or 10. It was as if he had been waiting for that moment all match.
And secondly, and arguably more importantly, they suddenly started handing out free pizza to the media! That is a good enough reason to put the sport back in the Olympics for me!
On a serious note, I am very impressed with the organisation tonight as well. I was told three times when collecting my ticket earlier that I would not have a table seat, "and you have been told now so don't ask when you get there", they added. I get there, and lo and behold, they've only gone and given me a tabled seat, with an internet cable as well. It doesn't get any better than that for us journos - internet and free pizza. It's a good thing too, because the WiFi was unusable on my phone...
21:02 Well...I'm exhausted, other journalists are exhausted, the players must be exhausted and the home fans must be close to losing their voices and exhausted. But South Korea held their nerve to win an absorbing baseball final. It wasn't all big hits and home runs. In fact, there weren''t any at all, but this was sport in its most absorbing and gripping form.

21:53 A mishit shot, a frantic run to first base. This is going to be out! Oh, a fumble by the first baseman. But it's still incomplete and the Taiwanese hitter is ruled not to have reached it in time. The crowd go wild and South Korea are on the brink here!
21:48 Straight back to the baseball for the closing stages. Taiwan have to get runs in this ninth innings...And a big shot, a big shot, the closest we've come to a home run tonight. That's exactly what they need right now. But, alas, it falls short and is caught. That's one out.
China and Japan win in wrestling and bowling

![Incheon 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Incheon_2014_gold_medal.png)
Ridhwan Syafiq, Zulmazran Zulkifli and Tan Chye Chern of Malaysia pick up silver, while Choi Bokeum, Park Jongwoo and Kim Kyungmin of South Korea take bronze.
21:36 Back in the baseball. There's a triumphant air to proceedings now, as the South Korean crowd feel the gold is coming. Taiwan dry a desperate "bunk" shot there. Dropping the ball at his feet and sprinting with all he had towards first base. I used to try that tactic in softball in school PE lessons... It didn't work then and it doesn't work here, he's out before reaching first base and its a scoreless innings from the Taiwanese. South Korea still lead 6-3 heading into the ninth.
Three gold for China, two for Qatar and one for Saudi Arabia on day two of athletics
21:32 It was raining as well in the athletics. What a few days Qatar have had in shooting and now track and field. Five gold medals in four days...

Ogunode clocks 9.93 to win 100 metres!
21:12 What a sensational run by the Qatari! He goes joint fifth on the 2014 world lists behind Justin Gatlin, Richard Thompson, Mike Rodgers and Asafa Powell. And equal with Tyson Gay.

Francis was a distant eighth and last.
21:02 Straight on to the men's final, but a key moment in the baseball at the same time. Taiwan fail to score after two player are caught out. South Korea come out to bat, and you just feel this is the moment. And they promptly reach first base! Min Byung Hun with the successful hit.
Wei wins 100m gold for China!

20:55 We will return to Yoshida in a moment, but here is the women's 100m final...
Yoshida becomes first wrestler to win four consecutive Asian Games titles

20:47 A big wrestling result to bring you in a moment. But the athletes are out for the women's 100m final... Meanwhile, here in the baseball, the crowd are cheering wildly everytime Taiwan miss the ball. But they need than that, South Korea need runs now. The tension is growing, with Taiwan still 3-2 ahead in the seventh innings.
![Chinese flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Chinese_flag.png)
It's a Uzbek 2-3 behind her. Ekaterina Avoronina and Yuliya Tarasova are 184 and 241 points behind respectively. The long jump, javelin and 800m to come tomorrow.

Taiwan edge ahead in baseball
![Taiwan flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Taiwan_flag.png)
Pharrell Williams "Happy" has come on again in the break. They won't be happy in the streets of Incheon tonight if the score stays the same. Maybe Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" would be more appropriate? As so often in sport, contests can change in the blink of an eye. South Korea hammered these opponents a couple of days ago, but cannot do it tonight.
What an effort by Taiwan, as well. Missing some of their key players, but after beating Japan in the semi-final, are they going to go one step better?
Indonesia take second badminton gold of the Games
![Incheon 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Incheon_2014_gold_medal.png)
Pairs from South Korea and Malaysia took bronze.
First Saudi Arabian gold
20:12 An interesting fact about Masrahi before we move on. In 2008 he switched from the 800m to the 400m on the advice of the head of the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee, Prince Nawaf bin Faisal. "Prince Nawaf told me that he saw me as a champion in the 400m and that I was to only concentrate on that event. His strong advice has brought many good things to me."
Well...I wonder if Prince Nawak has any more advice, because that one worked. He's also the sixth fastest man in the world this year...

- Iraq's coach Hakeem Al Azzawi after defeating Saudi Arabia 3-0 in the quarterfinals. South Korea, as you can see from his comments, also made it through after holding on to beat Japan. Thailand are their opponents in the last four.
20:01 The 21-year-old Bahraini was born in Nigeria - are you surprise? - but switched allegiance and is actually best known as a 400m hurdles specialist. Her time won't set the world on fire in the global but a great victory tonight as she controlled the race throughout.
Next up is the men's race.

Wenxiu Zhang is the one to take gold as she throws a Games record distance of 77.33m. Behind here is team mate Zheng Wang who measures a distance of 74.16m. The Chinese duo are the only two to clear 70 metres with India's Bala Manju the next best athletes with 60.47m.
19:40 Here's something we weren't sure we would see last night. Ruth Jebet collecting her gold medal from the 3,000m women's steeplechase. The 17-year-old would have been cautious as she stepped on the medal podium after having it taken away from here moments before on the last time of trying...

Just a single point separated the two wrestlers in this one as Dutt sealed a single point in the first period with no reply.
Bronze medals were won by China's Katai Yeerlanbieke and Ikhtiyor Navruzov of Uzbekistan.
19:25 It's turned rather noisy at the badminton now as South Korea begin their men's doubles encounter with Indonesia on centre court.
Top seeds Yoo Yeonseong and Lee Yongdae are the local favourites as they take on Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan. It's not just the home fans making all the noise here, though, with plenty of Indonesians making their voices heard inside the venue.
These Indonesian cheers appear to be doing the trick as the duo take an early one game lead following a brilliant opening game here.
North Koreans missing home, and their leader...
19:16 Here's an extract from an interesting article on a North Korean "Longing the Leader" gathering that took place last night as athletes from "Up North" began feeling homesick...
"North Korea's athletes at the Asian Games, reportedly feeling homesick while competing in South Korea, have held a special "longing for the leader" gathering to express how much they miss their homeland.
"The gathering Saturday featured songs and poems praising leader Kim Jong Un, according to the North's Korean Central News Agency.
"The report said that at the gathering, called an 'Evening longing for respected Marshal Kim Jong Un Kim,' Sports Minister Kim Yong Hun said that while they have only been away from the leader for about a week, 'the minds of all members of the delegation and players are running to him, whom they long to see, awake or asleep.'
"Among the musical selections they sang were 'We Cannot Live Without You' and 'Warm Feelings,' which KCNA said reflects 'the single-minded unity' of all North Koreans who share "the unbreakable blood ties" to Kim.
"It added that a poem offered to Kim by one of the athletes left everyone 'mesmerized.'"

18:58 Not being a Korean speaker, I obviously don't understand many of the chants going around the Munhak Baseball Stadium, although I feel the players names are featuring heavily...
But I do recognise some of the tunes! First there is something that sounds exactly like the American Gospel Hymn turned football anthem, "When the Saints Go Marching In" and then there is one to the tune of Slade's 1973 number one "Come on Feel the Noise". Amazing to come to the other side of the world and here crowd songs that are just like those you would here at Slough versus Bideford on a wet Tuesday night in an English football match...
Meanwhile, Taiwan score a run in their first innings to take a 1-0 lead.
![Players line up before the start of the baseball ©Instagram](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Players_line_up_before_the_start_of_the_baseball.jpg)
18:52 South Korea are scoreless in the first innings in the baseball, meanwhile, against Taiwan. A couple of solid hits but, when the bases were loaded, they were unable to force the ball away and had their third "out". Nine innings each remember... Each team trying to complete a "run" before three people are out, which means an innings ends.
![Iraqi flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Iraqi_flag.png)

18:33 Back in the Munhak Stadium, we have had national anthems, the Mayor of Incheon, Song Young-gil, has been introduced and we are underway. I try not to succumb to hyperbole too often, but the atmosphere is magnificent in here. There's a section to my right where everyone is constantly singing, waving flags, with a deafening crescendo whenever a player moves. And they've barely started yet!
While there are no matches in the South Korean Professional League during the Games, meaning the best players are free to compete, it is the Taiwanese second-team, effectively, here in Incheon, so they have nothing to lose tonight. Not a bad second team, however, if their win over Japan is anything to go by...

Yu Chun An shot 67 for the final round to finish 12 under for the tournament, and win the bronze medal.
18:09 Paul Osborne has nipped to catch the end of the badminton so I (Nick) am back on our blog for the time being now. I'm afraid there may be a bit of a baseball/badminton tinge to our coverage for the next couple of hours, but I hope you don't mind. We will make up for it over the next few days, other sports, I promise!

Into a decider in the badminton...
17:59 We're into a decider in the badminton as Lee Chong Wei seals the second game 21-12.
We saw in the women's final that the winner of the opener can throw too much in the first game and pay the ultimate price. Is that going to be the case in this final?
Who even knows...
17:50 Big news in he basketball where China's men's team have been knocked out at the quarter-final stage following defeat to Iran.
It marks the first time in that China has failed to progress to the semi-final stage in what is their 11th appearances at the Games.
17:45 It's first blood to Lin Dan in the badminton as he secures the opening game 22-20. You can hear the crowds cheering from down in the workroom here at the Gyeyang Gymnasium. Great stuff!
Drama at the football
17:37 Back to sport, I suppose, and North Korea have sealed a dramatic 1-0 win over United Arab Emirates in the quarter-finals of the men's football.
Goalless across the 90 minutes, Jong Ingwan netted a fine goal in extra time to ensure North Korea's first passage to the semi-finals on the fourth time of asking.
In 2010, the two teams met at the quarter-final stages as well with the UAE winning on this occasion after a 9-8 scoreline on penalties.
The opening quarter-final saw Thailand seal a 2-0 victory over Jordan in a game largely dominated by the Thai side.
17:30 A big argument has broken out here in the workroom. Unfortunately for me it's all being held in Korean so I have absolutely no idea what is happening. Fortunately, the badminton is on the big screen so there are other things to distract the mind.
There are a lot of photographers within the "scrum" arguing so I can only image it's a heated discussion on where the nearest Burger King is.... I'd also like to know that, if I'm honest...
The "big one" has begun in the badminton
17:20 It's the big one in terms of men's badminton now as Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei up against Lin Dan of China in the first semi-final.
There is huge interest among the journalists here in the workroom with many, not me of course, leaving their work for later to keep a close eye on this encounter.
Lee Chong is Malaysia's most successful Olympian having taken silver at both Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
The Malaysian lost to Lin in both of these finals with the Chinese player considered on of the best singles badminton players of all time.
By the age of 28, Lin had completed the "Super Grand Slam", having won all nine major titles in the badminton world:Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup, Super Series Masters Finals, All England Open,Asian Games, and Asian Championships, becoming the first and only player to achieve this feat.
He also became the first men's singles player to retain the Olympic gold medal after sealing gold at London 2012.

17:12 Japan currently hold the lead in the bowling as the second block continues to run in the men's trios competition.
Tomoyuki Sasaki, Shogo Wada and Shusaku Asato hold the lead at 3881 after finishing off their second clock of three games.
Behind them are Singapore and Malaysia who are yet to finish their second blocks. To snatch victory from under the noses of Japan, Malaysia need to bowl a second block score of 1998 while Singapore need 2031.

![Incheon 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Incheon_2014_gold_medal.png)
Jinhyek Oh is the man to take it as he beats China's Zhiwei Yong 6-4 in the men's individual final.
The Chinese archer had taken a 4-0 lead after the first to sets, however, six points on the bounce gave the Korean his victory.
16:54 There's been a lot of action in the tennis this afternoon as we decide the finallists across each of the five categories.
The men's singles final will see Taiwan's Lu Yen Hsun take on Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka following win's over Yuichi Sugita of Japan and India's Yuki Bhambri respectively.
It will be a Thailand versus China final in the women's singles after wins for Luksika Kumkhum and Wang Qiang, while the finalists for the three doubles contests are still being decided.

The all-South Korean final ends with victory for Jung Dasomi as she records a comfortable 7-1 scoreline against team mate Chang Hyejin.
Two perfect sets for Jung were crucial in this victory as she adds singles gold to the team title she picked up earlier today, alongside Chang.
16:41 After their shock defeat to Taiwan in yesterday's semi-final, Japan have hit back to decimate China 10-0 in the bronze medal playoff.
It took just seven innings for the Japanese side to secure the bronze medal as they stepped up the pace following three opening innings of no score to smash their way to victory.
The gold medal match will begin in around an hour and a halves time where Taiwan and South Korea go head to head for one of the most prized medals at these Games.
Nick Butler will be at the venue to bring us all the updates there.

16:37 An all South Korean women's archery final is now going on, as action resumed for the final session over at the Gyeyang Asiad Archery Field. It's Jung Dasomi against Chang Hyejin, so two members of the trio who dominated the team final earlier turning from friend to foe.
The prior bronze medal match saw Japan's Ren Hayakawa fall to a 7-3 defeat at the hands of China's Xu Jing.
![Incheon 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/09/Incheon_2014/Incheon_2014_gold_medal.png)
Thailand have now won this event at the last five consecutive Asian Games. Their only blemish was a defeat in the final to Malaysia the first time the sport was contested, at Beijing 1990.
The two bronze medals this time around went to Indonesia and Malaysia.
Golfing update
16:15 It's time for me to eat my words (or that cleaning utensil Nick called a sandwich earlier), as we bring the latest golfing update.
South Korea's Namhun Kim, who was third come the start of play, and "focusing on bronze rather than gold", is now first...
The Korean is five under par after 13 holes and sits level with Taiwan's overnight leader Cheng Tsung Pan.
Eunho Youm, who had caught the leader after the first hole, now lies in tied third after a series of bogies has left him four over par for the day.
Taiwan's Chun An Yu has put in a spectacular final round performance to move level with the Korean as he notches five under through 15 holes, while China's Zhengkai Bai sits one shot behind in third alongside India's Udayan Mane.
It's chaotic out on the course so I'm going to leave the predictions to somebody else....
Update on Japanese camera thief
16:07 Some more on the news we brought you yesterday now that a member of the Japanese swimming team, former world champion Naoya Tomita, had been expelled from the country's team after being caught stealing a camera from a South Korean jounalist. (read the full story here)
"He has admitted to the charges and is being charged without retention because he has returned the stolen property," he said. "On Monday the prosector will begin his investigation. He will then leave the country. JSF (Japanese Swimming Federation) will expell the athlete from the Federation.

Li Xuerui had looked on course to repeat the result of the London 2012 badminton final after storming to a 21-11 opening game.
Wang dug deep to clinch the second 21-17, however, and was almost faultless in the decider as she sealed it 21-7 to ensure the gold.
The two bronze were won by Tai Tzu Ying of Taiwan and Bae Yeonju of South Korea.

Thailand's Tanaratta Udomchavee and Varapatsorn Radarong had begun to stumble in the latter stages of the opening set, which they lost 21-12 and, despite a late surge in the second, could not beat the sturdy Chinese defence.
The result ensures a Chinese gold and bronze, and also marks the 100th gold for the dominant Chinese here at the Asian Games.

The quartet walked away with zero penalty points to claim gold ahead of Saudi Arabi, who finished with four.
Japan will also make their way to podium as they secure bronze with 12 penalty points.
15:32 It's all happening in the badminton here at the Gyeyang Gymnasium where Wang Yihan and Li Xuerui are battling for gold in the women's singles.
In a repeat of the London 2012 Olympic final, which was won by Li, the pair are fighting tooth and nail in this contest. Li came out swinging in the first game, snatching it 21-11, before Wang levelled it up with a 21-17 win in the second.
There are decent crowds inside the gym, albeit not full, and the fans are really loving it here. The pair, of course, won team gold together earlier in the week.

15:17 Back to Thailand, and they have taken the first match of the men's sepak takraw team final against South Korea. 21-10, 21-9 in just 41 minutes. It is a best of three contest remember, so the host nation can still fight back, but they will really to up their game.
Possible match-fixing in Incheon 2014 men's football matches
15:10 The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is looking into reports that unnamed football matches here may have been fixed, it has emerged.
"Following recent reports of possible match manipulation at the Incheon Asian Games 2014 football competition, the AFC would like to confirm that we are closely monitoring the situation," the AFC have said in a statement. They added that they are collaborating with the OCA to look into the matter.
"We are also working hand in hand with Sportradar to thoroughly review the provided information on suspicious betting patterns," they said. "The AFC is determined to eradicate match fixing in Asia and we will ensure that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of our goal."
Match-fixing is a particular problem in parts of Asia with recent cases having been reported in Vietnam and Malaysia.

15:01 It's been a good day for Thailand so far, with that win in sepak takraw earlier. And there could be more to come. Varapatsorn Radarong and Tanarttha Udomchavee are just starting their women's beach volleyball final against Ma Yuanyuan and Xia Xinyi of China. The Chinese pair won the Asian Championships on home soil, sorry, home sand, in Wuhan last year, so are probably favourites, although there shouldn't be too much in it.

14:54 I seem to have invaded the Thai contingent of the Media Centre, meanwhile, and all the screens around me are showing their country's football quarter-final clash with Jordan. And a roar goes up as Chanathip Songkrasin scores to put the South East Asian side 1-0 ahead. It's 0-0 in the other quarter-final clash currently going on, between North Korea and the United Arab Emirates.
South Korea face Japan, and Saudi Arabia play Iraq later.

This was part two of the China v Malaysia rivalry today. China were resolutely on top in the archery final earlier, but it is now 1-1, ahead of the clash between a certain Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei in badminton later on...
14:38 Right, the afternoon programme is hotting up now, with badminton medals action starting soon, and the second finals of the day in sepak takraw and bowling also beginning. The men's golfers are chipping, driving and putting their way towards the medals, while the women's beach volleyball final is also beginning in a few minutes time.
Gold for South Korea in cycling road race?

14:25 The leading duo are still together. We are coming down to a sprint finish...

Closing stages of the cycling road race
14:20 But two riders have broken clear! Jang Kyunggu of South Korea and Arvin Moazami Godarzi of Iran. The Iranian finished second in this event at the 2013 Asian Championships in New Delhi. Jang finished 13th in the Guangzhou 2010 road race. Is this the winning move?
14:14 The group of 15 riders are still there, although the pace has risen and there have been several attempts to break off the front, including by Leung Chun Wing of Hong Kong, who has already competed on the track in the team pursuit at these Games. This race, remember, is being held on the same day as the World Championship road race in Ponferrada, Spain.
Only two Asian countries, Kazakhstan and Japan, have riders entered for that event this afternoon.
14:09 Right, closing stages of the cycling road race now, so we are going to divert our gaze onto this one. Paul, incidentally, has just headed off to the badminton. We are hoping to be able to bring you some more coverage from the venues themselves from now on.

It is also worth saying that Ali N A Y Marafi is currently 173 shots behind the leaders and down in 80th place in the men's golf. But that said, Kuwait have had a very good Games, with a flurry of shooting medals and a brilliant win in squash courtesy of Abdullah Almezayen, one of my moments of the Games so far. They have also competed in events, such as women's triathlon, that have never participated in before.

- Ukraine's Sergey Bubka posts his approval after attending the Asian Games.
13:27 Despite the disappointment yesterday, Bahrain won silver and bronze in the 5,000m yesterday, their first two medals of the Games. Among those delighted with the performance was West Asian Athletics Federation and Bahrain Athletics Association Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who arrived in Incheon recently.
During his presence at the stadium, Shaikh Khalid met a certain British Olympic Association chairman, Sebastian Coe, and presented this commemorative gift below.

There's just the final hole to go here now, the Par 4 18th, with all still to play for as the golfers tee-up. In third is another Thai golfer, Suparmas Sangchan, who we can safely say has secured the bronze as she sits five clear of China's Yuting Shi in fourth but three behind her team mate Sukapan who will be battling to regain the lead on the last.

12:45 The golf competition is hotting up now as our leaders finally take to the course. Taiwan's Cheng Tsung Pan had the overnight lead in the men's at 16 under par but has been caught early by South Korea's Eunho Youm following a birdie on the first. Another Korean, Namhun Kim sits five strokes behind the leader on 11 under but will likely have his sights firmly set on a podium position rather than a gold, as China's Zhengkai Bai looks to chase him down in fourth.
The Chinese golfer began the day in tenth on eight under par but three birdies on the first three holes has seen him shoot up the leaderboard into fourth. Thailand's Danthai Boonma, who won bronze at the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games sits a further shot down in fifth alongside India's Udayan Mane. There's a tight tussle in the team event as well with Taiwan currently a piddly two shots ahead of South Korea, with China back in third.
