NAGOYA: The Singapore women’s epee team bagged an Asian Games bronze on Friday (Sep 25) after a stunning comeback in the quarter-finals against Uzbekistan.

At the Aichi Sky Expo, Filzah Hidayah, Kiria Tikanah, Esther Tan and Elle Koh overcame a big deficit to turn the tables late on, with Koh securing a 42-41 victory in overtime.

This is the first time a Singaporean epee team has won a medal at the Games. The women's epee team was eliminated in the quarter-finals at the last three consecutive Games.

The quartet, who received a bye in the round of 16 as they were top seeds, faced defending champions South Korea later in the day, but went down 35-45. There is no bronze medal match in the competition, with both losing semi-finalists awarded bronze.

The podium finish on Friday brings the fencers’ total medal tally to three.

Earlier in the meet, Kiria secured silver in the women’s individual epee , before Maxine Wong clinched bronze in the women’s foil .
