S. Korea captures gold in women's sabre fencing team event

South Korea won gold in the women’s sabre fencing team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, giving the country its fourth fencing title on the last day of the sport. Choi Se-bin, Jeon Ha-young, Seo Ji-yeon and Kim Jeong-mi beat Japan 45-31 at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname. The team claimed the title despite no South Korean fencer winning an individual medal earlier in the competition.

South Korea finished fencing at the Asian Games with four gold medals, four silver medals and two bronze medals.

The team event used nine head-to-head bouts, with each bout lasting three minutes and ending early if a team reached a multiple of five points.

Choi Se-bin, Jeon Ha-young, Seo Ji-yeon and Kim Jeong-mi formed the South Korean lineup in the final against Japan.

Seo Ji-yeon appeared to twist her knee after slipping during her bout against Yui Sano, and substitute Kim Jeong-mi finished the match for South Korea.

South Korea struck gold in the women's sabre fencing team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Sunday, delivering the country's fourth fencing title on the sport's last day here.

The team of Choi Se-bin, Jeon Ha-young, Seo Ji-yeon and Kim Jeong-mi took down Japan's Misaki Emura, Yui Sano, Yuina Kaneko and Seri Ozaki by 45-31 at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, south of the main host city, Nagoya.

None of the South Korean fencers won an individual medal earlier in the competition but won the team title together.

Choi was on the 2023 Asian Games team that won bronze behind Uzbekistan and Japan.

South Korea finished fencing with four gold medals, four silver medals and two bronze medals.

Team fencing events are contested in nine head-to-head bouts. Each bout is three minutes long, but it ends when one team's score reaches a multiple of five.

A team scoring 45 points first or having more points than the opponent at the end of the ninth bout wins the event.

Choi opened the match by beating Emura 5-2, and Jeon took the next bout against Sano by 5-4.

Seo fought off some early push from Kaneko and won her duel by 5-2, pushing South Korea's lead to 15-8.

Choi went up against Sano next. The Japanese fencer scored the first four points of that showdown, before Choi got the next five in response to put South Korea up 20-12.

Seo then got two quick points against Emura en route to a 5-3 win, with South Korea now up 25-15.

South Korea then overcame an apparent knee injury to Seo and cruised to the gold.

After Jeon took care of Kaneko 5-2, Seo was leading Sano 4-2 when she slipped and fell, apparently twisting her knee on the way down.

Substitute Kim Jeong-mi came on for Seo and got the one final point to close out that bout, with South Korea now up 35-19.

The score was 40-25 after the Choi-Ozaki match. Jeon only needed five more points for the title, while Ozaki had to get 20 more points — virtually an insurmountable deficit at that point. And Jeon finished off Japan with plenty of time to spare.

崔是2023年亚运会日本队的成员，该队最终获得铜牌，仅次于乌兹别克斯坦和日本。

韩国队在击剑比赛中获得四枚金牌、四枚银牌和两枚铜牌。

团体击剑比赛由九场一对一的较量组成。每场较量持续三分钟，但当一方得分达到五的倍数时，比赛即结束。

率先获得 45 分或在第九局结束时得分高于对手的队伍赢得比赛。

崔以 5-2 击败江村，赢得了比赛；随后全以 5-4 战胜佐野，赢得了下一场比赛。

徐顶住了金子开局的猛攻，以 5-2 赢得了比赛，将韩国队的领先优势扩大到 15-8。

接下来，崔泫对阵佐野祐。日本选手佐野祐率先拿下四分，但崔泫随后连得五分，帮助韩国队以20比12领先。

随后徐某迅速拿下两分，最终以5-3战胜江村，韩国队以25-15领先。

随后，韩国队克服了徐某明显的膝伤，轻松夺得金牌。

全胜金子 5-2 后，徐以 4-2 领先佐野，这时她滑倒了，显然在摔倒时扭伤了膝盖。

替补上场的金正美换下了徐，并拿下最后一分，结束了这场比赛，韩国队以 35-19 领先。

崔志万与尾崎成树的比赛结束后，比分定格在40比25。全胜只需再得5分即可夺冠，而尾崎成树则需要再得20分——在当时的情况下，这几乎是无法逾越的差距。最终，全胜轻松击败日本队，赢得了比赛。
