South Korea's Lee Min Hye broke the Asian Games record to win the women's 3km individual pursuit at the 15th Asian Games here on Monday.

Lee led from the start to cover the 3km race in three minutes 44.146 seconds, beating the Asian Games' record by 0.073 seconds, set by herself in the competition on Sunday.

"I feel like I'm flying in the sky. I want to continue beating the Asian record and join the world stage after this," said Lee.

Lee thus ended China's perfect winning streak in this event over the past four Asian Games.

"In the qualifying round, I beat the Chinese riders, so I have expected today's performance," added Lee.

Li Meifang of China won the silver in 3:45.870, while her teammate Wang Li took the bronze in 3:49.489.

"I did not get used to the track because my main sport was on the road. I have not prepared well for this," said Li.
