Thailand’s Puripol Boonson completed the Asian Games men’s sprint double by winning the 200m final on 27 September at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium. The official Asian Athletics 200m final result records 19.88 seconds in a -0.3 m/s wind, an equal Asian record. China’s Huang Youwen took silver in 20.45 and Japan’s Soshi Mizukubo bronze in 20.56. World Athletics’ Nagoya report and Xinhua’s 200m final report independently confirm that order, the times and the record-equalled mark.

Boonson had set the Asian Games 200m record of 20.10 in the preliminary round the day before, but the final took a further 0.22 seconds from that mark. The official sheet marks his 19.88 as EAR, while World Athletics identifies it as matching the continental record set by China’s Xie Zhenye in 2019. The final result was issued at 19:54 local time on 27 September, so this was a completed medal discipline rather than a live heat or pending decision.

In the men’s high jump final, Chinese Taipei’s Fu Chao-hsuan won gold with 2.25m, ahead of India’s Sarvesh Kushare on the same height and Korea’s Woo Sanghyeok at 2.22m. Asian Athletics’ official high-jump final result lists the three medallists and marks; Olympics.com’s event report explains that Fu’s first-attempt clearance at 2.25m decided gold on countback after both leaders missed 2.28m. World Athletics also reports Fu first, Kushare second and Woo third.

Both finals were complete in the 27 September Asia/Kolkata reporting window. The wider athletics programme continued, but no later meet development is included here. For an earlier verified men’s athletics final from the same Games, read our Asian Games men’s marathon update.
