Four-time Olympic champion swimmer Kosuke Kitajima and South Korean superstar Park Tae-Hwan made their Guangzhou debuts Sunday as the pair look to halt the Chinese Asian Games juggernaut.
China dominated the opening day of action, winning 19 of the 28 gold medals, and while more of the same is expected, Japan and South Korea have other ideas.
Japan clawed one back by taking the first title of the day when Yuichi Hosoda won the men's triathlon, completing the 1.5km swim, 40km bike race and 10km run in 1hr 52min 13sec.
