Choi In-jeong became the champion of the women’s epee at the Kazan Epee World Cup in March, beating French fencer Aliya Luty.
With two gold, one silver and three bronze medals, the 2012 London Olympics proved to be the turning point for South Korea’s fencing record.
That success carried over to the 2016 Rio Olympics, where Park Sang-young mounted one of the great Olympic comebacks to win the men’s epee individual gold, winning a gold medal by coming from 14-10 down and taking five consecutive points.
