MotoGP adds two new circuits in calendar shake-up for 2027

Manila Times - Sep 25, 2026

PARIS, France — MotoGP has added two new circuits in Argentina and Australia for the 22-race 2027 calendar, announced on Friday. The season is scheduled to open in Buriram, Thailand, on March 7 and to end in Valencia, in Spain on November 28. The first new track will be in Buenos Aires in April, the second leg of a three-race American swing that starts with Goiania in Brazil, which staged its first race this season, and finishes in Austin, Texas. The second addition is a street circuit in Adelaide, on November 14 at the end of a five-race late-season swing down through Asia to Australia. The Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez in Buenos Aires replaces Termas de Hondo, more than 1,100 kilometers inland from the capital. That circuit was on and off the MotoGP calendar between 2014 and its last appearance in 2025. Buenos Aires last hosted races in 1999. In Australia, Phillip Island near Melbourne has hosted races since 1989, but its contract expires after this season and the Victoria State Government rejected a plan by MotoGP to move the race to the track used by Formula One in Albert Park in the heart of the city. The race in Adelaide, which will require laying track...

Cho, Kim surprise gold rush with South Korea's 1st Asiad double

NAGOYA, Japan — Team South Korea had its first two double gold medalists at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, the sixth day since the medal race began. They were not swimmers, shooters or fencers, who are traditionally strong gold medal collectors at the Asian Games. Paddlers Cho Gwang-hee and Kim Hyo-bin became the first multiple gold medalists in the South Korean delegation after finishing first in the men's kayak double (K2) 500-meter event at Miyoshi Lake Canoe Course in Miyoshi, just east of the main host city of Nagoya. They also won the gold medal in the men's kayak four (K4) 500m race the previous day. When the national anthem was played during the medal ceremony after the K2 500m event, Cho and Kim broke down in tears. "The hard times that we had gone through came across my mind, and emotions crowded in on me," Kim said after the ceremony. Kim, 25, won two gold medals at his Asian Games debut. Cho, 32, who has competed at the Asian Games since 2014, said he had never imagined winning two golds in the K2 and K4 events after switching from his main kayak single (K1) 200m eve

Nat'l swimming coach encouraged by progress of young medalists

TOKYO—The head coach of the national swimming team said Friday he has been buoyed by the progress made by his young athletes at the Asian Games in Japan, saying they can be competitive beyond Asia. Kim Hyo-youl spoke with South Korean media after the conclusion of the morning heats at Tokyo Aquatics Centre, with the finals set for the evening. South Korea came into Friday with one gold, five silver and 11 bronze medals in the pool. The country swept up 22 medals, including six gold medals, at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, and will not likely match that total in the Japanese capital. Still, Kim chose to look on the brighter side, noting that some of his youngest athletes all reached the podium. Kim Young-beom, 20, won the men's 50-meter freestyle gold medal as part of his five-medal haul. Park Si-eun, 19, won silver in the women's 200m breaststroke, while another 19-year-old, Kim Jun-woo, won a joint silver medal in the men's 800m freestyle. Kim Seung-won, a 16-year-old high school student, won bronze medals in the women's 50m and 100m backstroke races. "With these swimmers, i

S. Korea wins silver in women's epee team fencing at Asian Games

TOKONAME, Japan — South Korea won the silver medal in the women's epee team fencing at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, failing to defend its Asiad title. The quartet of Song Se-ra, Lim Tae-hee, Yang Seung-hye and Lee Hye-in lost to China 45-28 in the gold medal match at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, some 35 kilometers south of the main host city of Nagoya, Japan. South Korea won the event at the previous Hangzhou Asian Games but finished runner-up at the 2026 Games. Song, who won the individual epee title on Tuesday, took the silver in the team event. Bronze medals went to Singapore and Kazakhstan. Team fencing events are contested in nine head-to-head bouts. Each bout is three minutes long, but it ends when one team's score reaches a multiple of five. A team scoring 45 points first or having more points than the opponent at the end of the ninth bout wins the event. In the epee event, fencers use a thrusting weapon, targeting the entire body. South Korea won the first two bouts to build a narrow 7-6 lead. However, China pushed back and took a 15-13 lead in the third bout, and maintain

[Asian Games] S. Korea captures gold in men's 3x3 basketball

NAGOYA, Japan — South Korea won its first Asian Games gold medal in men's 3x3 basketball on Friday. South Korea beat Qatar 19-10 for the title at Kinjo Futo Station Square Venue in Nagoya. The South Korean team featured four collegiate players in Lee Ju-yeong, Kim Seung-woo, Lee Dong-geun and Ku Min-gyo, with each nation carrying a backup. Lee Ju-yeong led his team with nine points and drained three shots from behind the arc. Earlier in the day, the South Korean women's team beat Thailand 21-8 for the bronze medal. The South Korean men's team won gold in the 5x5 tournament last Sunday, and the women's 5x5 team reached the final by beating China in the semifinals on Friday. The 3x3 title was South Korea's 800th gold in its Asian Games history. The 3x3 basketball made its Asiad debut in 2018. South Korea won silver then and finished fourth in 2023, before reaching the pinnacle here Friday. The 3x3 game is played over a single 10-minute period, with shots from behind the arc counting as two-pointers and those inside the line counting for one point each. South Korea clung to a 6-4 lead at the h

S. Korea wins relay bronze to end swimming competition

TOKYO — South Korea ended the swimming competition of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday by winning bronze in the women's 4x100-meter medley relay. The team of Kim Seung-won, Park Si-eun, An Se-hyeon and Hur Yeon-kyung finished with a time of 4:00.67, placing behind China (3:54.55) and Japan (3:57.64) at Tokyo Aquatics Centre. This was South Korea's third swimming medal of Friday, following Lee Ju-ho's silver in the men's 200m backstroke and Kim Min-seop's bronze in the men's 200m butterfly. South Korea finished the Asian Games with one gold, six silver and 13 bronze medals in swimming. "I am so thankful that our medley relay team won a medal at the Asian Games, and I was so honored to have competed with these incredible athletes," Park said. The 19-year-old paid her respect to the 30-year-old veteran An. "Just having her around here gives us such a boost," Park said. "She gave me the courage to race in this relay event." Hur, 20, said An held the rest of the team together with her leadership. "She kept the mood light and made it fun for us to swim," Hur added, before cracking, "It loo

S. Korea wins 3 medals on last day of swimming

TOKYO — South Korea picked up three medals on the last day of the swimming competition at the ongoing Asian Games in Tokyo on Friday, finishing a couple of medals short of its gaudy total from three years ago. Lee Ju-ho won silver in the men's 200-meter backstroke at Tokyo Aquatics Centre in 1:56.58, 0.16 second back of Kodai Nishiono of Japan. Kim Min-seob grabbed bronze in the men's 200m butterfly for his first individual medal in Tokyo. Kim Seung-won, Park Si-eun, An Se-hyeon and Hur Yeon-kyung then won bronze in the women's 4x100m medley relay, the very last swimming event in Tokyo. South Korea ended with one gold medal, six silver medals and 13 bronze medals in Tokyo. The country swept up 22 medals at the 2023 Asiad in Hangzhou, China, including six gold medals. South Korea came to Tokyo trying to repeat that type of success, but was relegated to the background as China and Japan ran roughshod over the competition. South Korea's two alpha dogs, Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min, both finished without a gold medal after combining for five between them three years ago. Kim, in particular,

Kim Min-seop wins bronze in men's 200m butterfly swimming

TOKYO — Kim Min-seop won his first individual Asian Games swimming medal on Friday with his bronze in the men's 200-meter butterfly event. Kim finished third with a time of 1:55.94 at Tokyo Aquatics Centre, holding off Wang Xizhe of China by one-hundredth of a second. Wang Kuan-hung of Chinese Taipei won the gold in 1:55.05, and Xu Fang of China was the silver medalist at 1:55.65. Kim had earlier received silver in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay and bronze in the 4x200m freestyle relay for competing in the heats. In the butterfly final, Kim touched the 100m pad in second place and remained in the silver medal position with 50m to go. But he slowed considerably in the home stretch, as his final split of 30.74 seconds was the sixth-slowest in the 10-man final. "This was the first time I got into the 1:55 range since the Olympics (in 2024). And when I heard my parents and teammates screaming from the stands, I figured I had won a medal," Kim said. "Then when I saw the board, I saw No. 3 next to my name and I won bronze by 0.01 second. I felt really lucky." Kim, 22, said the bronze medal he

S. Korea beats China to reach women's basketball final

NAGOYA— South Korea advanced to the women's basketball final after pulling off a come-from-behind victory over China at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, moving a step closer to its first Asiad gold medal in 12 years. Guard Lee So-hee and forward Lee Hae-ran scored more than 20 points each to help South Korea defeat China 85-80 in the semifinals at Aichi International Arena in Nagoya. In the final set for 7:20 p.m. Saturday, South Korea will meet Japan. The host country beat Chinese Taipei 80-52 in Friday's second semifinal game. Coached by Park Soo-ho, South Korea is chasing its first gold medal in women's hoops since 2014 and its fifth overall. The men's national team won gold here Sunday. In the first quarter, South Korea's forwards struggled to get past China's 220-centimeter center Zhang Ziyu, ending the quarter down 19-17. The gap widened to 41-36 in the second quarter as South Korea had difficulty finding its range from three-point territory. Some timely three-pointers helped South Korea stay in a seesaw battle in the third quarter. Entering the fourth quarter down four point

Men's, women's football teams advance to semifinals

NAGOYA, Japan — South Korea advanced to the semifinals in both men's and women's football tournaments at the Asian Games on Friday. The men's squad, coached by Lee Min-sung, defeated Vietnam 4-0 in the quarterfinals at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Rugby Field in Nagoya, central Japan. The under-23 Taegeuk Warriors are now two wins away from delivering the country's fourth consecutive gold medal in men's football. In Wednesday's semifinals at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, 140 kilometers west of Nagoya, South Korea will meet the winner of the China-Thailand quarterfinal duel set for Saturday. Grasshopper forward Lee Young-jun, who joined the team Monday due to his commitment with the Swiss club, got the start and scored a brace -- in the 15th minute and then in the 81st minute. Center back Kim Ji-soo had the team's second goal in the 77th minute, with Kim Myeong-jun capping off the win with the fourth goal in the 88th minute. Kim has now scored in all three South Korean matches so far. In the women's quarterfinals, South Korea beat Uzbekistan 6-3 at Nagai Stadium behind Yun Su-jeong's hat trick. The T

S. Korea falls to Japan for 1st loss in baseball

NAGOYA, Japan — The four-time defending champion South Korea was shut out by Japan 5-0 for its first loss in the Asian Games baseball tournament on Friday. Made up of stars of the top domestic league, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), South Korea managed just four hits against a Japanese team of amateurs to begin the Super Round at Toyohashi Municipal Baseball Stadium in Toyohashi, some 85 kilometers southeast of the main host city, Nagoya. Both teams had won all three matches in the preliminary stage to qualify for the Super Round, joined by Chinese Taipei and China. Counting its win over Chinese Taipei in the group phase, South Korea's Super Round record now stands at 1-1, while Japan, which earlier beat China in the group round, improved to 2-0. On Friday, South Korea will play China, while Japan will take on Chinese Taipei. Should both South Korea and Japan win Friday, then they will meet for the gold medal on Sunday in Toyohashi. However, if only South Korea wins and Japan loses to Chinese Taipei, then those three teams will finish with an identical 2-1 record. In that case, th

S. Korean pair takes mixed doubles bronze in table tennis

NAGOYA, Japan — Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin grabbed their second straight Asian Games bronze medal together in the mixed doubles table tennis event on Friday in Japan after falling to their Chinese rivals in the semifinals. Lim and Shin, world No. 1 in the mixed doubles, lost to Lin Shidong and Kuai Man of China 4-2 (9-11, 11-8 7-11, 11-9, 12-10, 11-3) in the semifinals at Sky Hall Toyota in Toyota, some 25 kilometers east of the main host city, Nagoya. With no bronze medal matches in table tennis, all losers of the semifinals are awarded bronze medals. This was the third bronze medal for South Korea at this year's Asiad, following the ones in the men's and women's team events. Lim and Shin fell to 1-4 against Lin and Kuai. That lone victory came in December 2025, when the South Koreans beat the Chinese team, then world No. 1, in the semifinals of the World Table Tennis Hong Kong Finals. Lim and Shin then went on to take down another Chinese tandem, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, in the final of that competition. The South Korean team had harbored hopes of reaching the final against Wang
