[Asian Games] Korea captures gold in women's sabre fencing team event

South Korea's women's sabre fencing team secured a gold medal victory at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, defeating Japan in the team final event. The South Korean squad, comprising Choi Se-bin, Jeon Ha-young, Seo Ji-yeon, and Kim Jeong-mi, edged out their Japanese opponents - Misaki Emura, Yui Sano, Yuina Kaneko, and Seri Ozaki - with a score of 45-31.

The win marked South Korea's fourth fencing title during the games. Remarkably, none of the South Korean fencers achieved individual medals in the competition; instead, they triumphed collectively as a team. Choi had previously competed on the 2023 Asian Games team which secured bronze behind Uzbekistan and Japan. In the end, South Korea concluded the fencing events with a total of four gold medals, four silver medals, and two bronze medals.
