Asian Games 2023, Day 9 - In Pics

China, well, continued to be relentless. At the close of Day 9, the Chinese tally was a whopping 269 medals, including 146 golds. With five full days still remaining in the 2023 Asian Games, the host nation will most likely end up setting a new medal haul record in a single edition. Both Japan and South Korea crossed the 100-medal mark, but even their consolidated effort was not good enough to match Chinese dominance. With 305 gold medals awarded, China has won almost half -- 146.
