Meanwhile, the Chinese home crowd chanted “Fighting, Sun Yiwen!”
It was a situation where the atmosphere could have been over,
but Song Sera succeeded in tying the score at 9-9 as soon as the game resumed,
then dragged Sun Yi-wen towards her and made a surprise attack to make it 10-9.
Song Sera widened the lead to 2 points with 26 seconds left and maintained the lead until the end of the game.
With this, Song Sera won a medal in her first Asian Games appearance.
In the Asian Games, fencing does not hold a separate match for 3rd and 4th place,
but if a team loses in the semifinals, a joint bronze medal is awarded.
Choi In-do, who also competed in the individual event,
won an easy 15-7 victory over Pichyova Ulyana (Kazakhstan) and advanced to the semifinals,
securing a bronze medal.
Choi In-jeong, who won consecutive bronze medals at the 2014 Incheon Games and the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games,
is determined to change the color of the medal this time.
If Song Sera and Choi In-jeong defeat their respective opponents in the semifinals, the Taegeuk Warriors final match will be held, and Korean fencing will secure gold and silver medals in women’s epee.
