South Korean fencer Song Se-ra has advanced to the final of the women's epee event at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
On September 22, at the Aichi Sky Expo, Song secured a narrow 15-14 victory against Japan's Tamaki Terayama in the semifinals.
Song started strong, winning the first period 3-2. However, the second period saw a fierce exchange, ending with Song trailing 4-5, allowing Terayama to tie the score. In the decisive third period, with the score tied at 7-7, Song's focus shone through as she outscored Terayama 8-7, clinching the match by a single point.
Earlier in the quarterfinals, Song also triumphed over China's Tang Junyao with a score of 15-14.
With this achievement, Song has secured at least a silver medal and will compete for gold in the final later today. At the previous Hangzhou Asian Games, she won a silver medal in the individual event and a gold medal in the team event.
