11-year-old Japanese elementary school student Yuki Kurihara won the gold medal in the Puyo Puyo event of the Asian Games esports, breaking the record for the youngest medalist ever. Kurihara defeated South Korea's Kang Dong-shin 10-2 in the final. Despite limited practice time due to homework from his cram school, he practiced for three hours a day to prepare for the competition. He expressed his joy as "very happy," but did not show his excitement in a relaxed manner. Kurihara said he wanted to buy gems with the prize money from this tournament, and his future aspiration is to be a train engineer.
