NAGOYA, Japan, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- A pair of Olympic medalists in judo will each chase their first Asian Games gold medals on Thursday.

Lee Joon-hwan will compete in the men's -81 kilograms, and Huh Mimi will do so in the women's -57kg on Day 2 of judo at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games at Aichi International Arena in Nagoya.

Lee is the 2024 Olympic bronze medalist in his weight class, while Huh, a Japanese native and a descendant of a Korean independence fighter, got silver in her division at the same Olympics.

Lee took silver at the previous Asian Games in 2023. This is Huh's first Asian Games appearance.

The taekwondo competition will begin Thursday with poomsae, a non-contact, pattern demonstration discipline of the traditional Korean martial art.

Yun Kyu-sung is considered a gold medal threat in the men's individual poomsae event at Toyohashi Gymnasium in Toyohashi, some 85 kilometers southeast of the main host city, Nagoya.

Elsewhere on Thursday, the men's field hockey team will play Malaysia in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium in Gifu, just north of Nagoya.

South Korea has not been to the men's field hockey final since winning gold in 2006 -- having won two bronze medals over the next four editions of the Asian Games.

日本名古屋，10月1日（韩联社）——两名柔道奥运奖牌得主将于周四各自冲击他们的首枚亚运会金牌。

在爱知名古屋亚运会柔道比赛第二天，李俊焕将参加男子-81公斤级比赛，许美美将参加女子-57公斤级比赛。比赛将在名古屋爱知国际体育馆举行。

李在2024年奥运会上获得了他所在级别的铜牌，而许（音译）是日本人，也是韩国独立运动战士的后裔，她在同一届奥运会上获得了她所在级别的银牌。

李在2023年上一届亚运会上获得银牌。这是许祐介首次参加亚运会。

跆拳道比赛将于周四开始，首先进行品势比赛，品势是韩国传统武术的一种非接触式套路展示项目。

在位于丰桥市（距主赛事举办城市名古屋东南约 85 公里的丰桥体育馆）举行的男子个人品势比赛中，尹奎成被认为是金牌的有力竞争者。

周四晚上 7 点，男子曲棍球队将在岐阜县绿色体育场（位于名古屋以北）与马来西亚队进行半决赛。

自 2006 年获得金牌以来，韩国男子曲棍球队就再也没有进入过决赛——在接下来的四届亚运会上，他们获得了两枚铜牌。
