South Korean fencer Song Se-ra has won the gold medal in the women's individual epee event, overcoming the disappointment of a silver medal in the previous competition.
On September 22, at the Aichi Sky Expo during the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, Song defeated Singapore's Tikhana Abdul Rahman Kiriya 15-8 in the final.
In the first period, Song took an early lead, finishing 3-2 ahead. She continued to dominate in the second period, adding seven points to extend her lead to 10-7.
Entering the third period with a three-point advantage, Song launched a more aggressive attack, securing her victory.
Throughout the tournament, Song displayed remarkable focus, winning both her quarterfinal and semifinal matches by a narrow one-point margin.
Previously, at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, Song earned a silver medal in the individual event and a gold medal in the team event. With this latest victory, she has established herself as the top fencer in Asia.
