A gold medal is amazing, but a mother and son winning gold medals?!

The story of Sung Jung-a, who won the women's basketball gold medal at the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, and her son Lee Hyun-jung, who won the men's basketball gold medal at the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, has become a hot topic. It's a special record, with a mother and son becoming Asian Games gold medalists in the same sport of basketball, separated by a span of 36 years. Sung Jung-a was a representative player of Korean women's basketball, winning a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and a gold medal at the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, while Lee Hyun-jung forged his own path through college basketball in the US and other leagues. In this final, he played a significant role in defeating Japan 67-57, recording 27 points and 18 rebounds, including 5 three-pointers. It's also impressive that the mother defended the paint while the son excelled from the perimeter, showcasing basketball from different eras. I hope the story of this mother and son, who reached the top in their own ways rather than simply inheriting their parents' names, is remembered for a long time~
