NAGOYA, Japan, Sept. 29 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Kim Min-young won the gold medal in the women's +87-kilogram kurash event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Tuesday, giving the country its first Asiad title in the wrestling-like sport.

Kim beat Chinese Taipei's Shih Liu Li-ling 5-0 in the event's final at Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall in Nagoya, Japan.

Kim became the first South Korean athlete to win a gold medal in kurash since the wrestling-like sport was introduced to the Asian Games in 2018.

South Korea has won two silvers and two bronzes at the Asian Games, including one silver by Mo Su-min in the women's 78-kg kurash event the previous day.

Kurash is a type of wrestling practiced in Central Asia. Athletes attempt to score by throwing their opponents, with a khalol, a throw that lands the opponent on their back, declared a victory, while other ground techniques are prohibited.

Kim, 21, who switched to kurash from judo, won her round of 16 and the quarterfinals by a khalol (a full point). In the semifinals, she edged out Arailym Shegenova of Kazakhstan 1-0.

In the gold medal match, Kim took five points after Shih received two penalties, or dakki.

Kim said her dream of becoming the first Korean kurash gold medalist had come true.

"I feel a bit dazed but delighted. I'm happy I achieved my dream of winning the first-ever gold medal," she said. "I was given a good opportunity and had a good result because I've worked hard."

She started her judo career in high school but switched to kurash at the suggestion of her university professor about a year ago.

Over the past year, she won the women's +87kg event at the Asian Championships and the Asian Games.

She will seek another title at the kurash world championships scheduled for November.

日本名古屋，9月29日（韩联社）——韩国选手金敏英周二在爱知-名古屋亚运会女子87公斤以上级摔跤比赛中获得金牌，为韩国赢得了该项类似摔跤运动的首个亚运会冠军。

金在位于日本名古屋的爱知县武术馆举行的决赛中以 5-0 击败中华台北选手刘丽玲。

金是自2018年摔跤运动被引入亚运会以来，首位在库拉什项目中获得金牌的韩国运动员。

韩国在亚运会上获得了两枚银牌和两枚铜牌，其中包括前一天莫秀敏在女子78公斤级摔跤比赛中获得的一枚银牌。

库拉什是中亚地区流行的一种摔跤运动。运动员试图通过摔倒对手得分，其中用“哈洛尔”（khalol）——一种将对手摔倒在地的投技——被判为胜利，而其他地面技术则被禁止使用。

21岁的金（Kim）从柔道转练库拉什（kurash），她在16强赛和四分之一决赛中均以一分（khalol）的优势获胜。半决赛中，她以1比0险胜哈萨克斯坦选手阿拉伊琳·舍格诺娃（Arailym Shegenova）。

在金牌争夺战中，金在施被罚两次点球（或称“嗬”）后，获得了五分。

金表示，她成为韩国首位库拉什拳击金牌得主的梦想已经实现。

“我感觉有点晕乎乎的，但非常高兴。我很高兴实现了赢得首枚金牌的梦想，”她说。“我得到了一个很好的机会，并且取得了好成绩，因为我付出了努力。”

她高中时开始练习柔道，但大约一年前，在大学教授的建议下改练库拉什武术。

过去一年，她赢得了亚洲锦标赛和亚运会女子87公斤以上级比赛的冠军。

她将在11月举行的库拉什世界锦标赛上力争再添一冠。
