The men's individual fencing ranking round of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games took place on September 16 at the Anjo Sports Park in Aichi, Japan.
Suh Chang-wan achieved an impressive record of 31 wins and 4 losses, securing the top position among 36 competitors. Kazakhstan's Temirlan Abdraymov and China's Ma Yuang followed in second and third place, both with 27 wins and 8 losses.
Team ace Jeon Woong-tae finished in fourth place with 26 wins and 9 losses. Lee Jong-hyun placed ninth with 22 wins and 13 losses, while Kim Young-ha ranked 11th with 21 wins and 14 losses, ensuring that all four South Korean athletes finished in the top 11.
Suh, who recently won a bronze medal in the men's individual event and a gold in the mixed relay at the 2026 World Championships, continued his strong performance. The youngest member of the team, 20-year-old Kim Young-ha, also delivered a stable performance in his first major competition.
It is important to note that these results reflect the fencing ranking round and do not determine the final medal standings. The team will combine scores from the upcoming obstacle course, swimming, and laser run (shooting and athletics) events to decide the final medal outcomes during the finals on the 20th, the day after the opening ceremony.
