China added to its haul Wednesday with gold medals across a number of events.

The Chinese dominated synchronized diving. Chang Yani and Shi Tingmao teamed up for a win in the women's three-meter springboard, while Chen Aisen and Yang Hao won the 10-meter men's platform. In the athletics discipline, Wang Kaihua placed first in the men's 20-kilometer walk, and Yang Jiayu prevailed in the women's 20-kilometer walk.

Although it won't be able to catch China, Japan enjoyed a pretty successful Wednesday. Sakura Yosozumi, Kensuke Sasaoka and Keyaki Ike nearly swept the skateboard portion of the Asian Games. Japan also prevailed in men's team cross country paragliding

The biggest story from Wednesday didn't involve the medal stage. The Republic of Korea defeated Vietnam 3-1 in the semifinals of the men's football competition to advance to Saturday's final against Japan. Seung-woo Lee and Ui-jo Hwang provided the goals, with Lee's brace bookending Korea's scoring output.

A number of interested parties from London have been following the tournament with rapt attention since the result will determine the availability of Tottenham Hotspur attacker Heung-Min Son. Should the Republic of Korea win a gold medal in the Asian Games, Son will be exempt from his state-mandated 21 months of military service.

Spurs saluted Son for the victory:

After the match, Son downplayed his individual quest for gold, instead emphasizing the team's collective push.

"We are so close to gold," he said, per Reuters (via ESPN.com). "We fight for that. I don't need to say anything, I am ready for that."
