Japan's Takayama Shunya and Kuwait's Alyouha Yaqoub Tie For First Place in Men's 110m Hurdles Final, Share Gold Medal (Watch Video)
The photo finish was perfectly timed with the Japanese athlete having his head ahead and the Kuwait athlete having his leg ahead, finishing the race at the exact moment.
A bizarre incident took place during the Men's 110m hurdles event at the Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou when both the participants from Japan and Kuwait had a photo finish and they could not be separated. Japan's Shunya Takayama and Kuwaiti runner Yaqoub Alyouha were both awarded gold in the men's 110 metres hurdles, after they crossed the finishing line in 13.41 seconds at the Hangzhou Olympic stadium.
