Wrestler Kim Min Chui from South Korea claimed the Greco-Roman 66kg title at the 15th Asian Games here on Sunday, beating Ruzikulov Rawshan of Uzbekistan in the final.

Kim, who made it through to the final after three convincing bout wins this morning, outplayed his rival 3-1 to win his first gold medal from international competitions.

"I'm very happy to win it as it's my first gold," said Kim. "I had a good defense today and forced my opponent lose it by technical points."

The bronze medals went to Reihani Hamid of Iran and Imuro Masaki of Japan.
