Ha Ji-min, 37, a living legend of Korean sailing, claimed his fourth Asian Games gold medal at his fifth Games appearance.
Ha topped the overall standings with nine points in the men's dinghy single-handed sailing final at Gamagori Kaiyo Yacht Harbor in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, on Friday at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
Having swept gold in the men's laser dinghy event at the 2010 Guangzhou, 2014 Incheon and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games to complete a historic three-peat, Ha bounced back from a silver-medal finish at the 2022 Hangzhou Games to reclaim the top spot.
