The world's top-ranked South Korea women's épée team is just one victory away from winning the Asian Games for the second consecutive time.

The Korean fencing Yeo Ja (CEO) team, composed of Song Se-ra (Busan Metropolitan City Hall), Lim Tae-hee (Gyeryongsi Hall), Yang Seung-hye (Korea National Sport University), and Lee Hye-in (Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall), overwhelmed Singapore 45-35 in the women's épée team semifinal (quarterfinals) of the competition held at the Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, Japan on September 25.

With today's victory, Korea advanced to the final and will face the winner of the Kazakhstan-China match at 7:20 PM this afternoon in the final showdown.

Korea reached the top of the team competition for the first time in 21 years at the 2022 Hangzhou Games held in 2023, and is now challenging for back-to-back titles through this competition. The women's épée team is ranked first in the world.

If the team also reaches the top in the team competition, Song Se-ra will become a double crown winner at the Games following her individual gold medal on September 22.

Lim Tae-hee, who went first, won 5-2 and took the initiative, while Korea, with Song Se-ra, Lee Hye-in, Lim Tae-hee, and Lee Hye-in in that order, led 25-20. Singapore also showed considerable strength, but Korean athletes maintained their lead without losing focus.

After the match passed the midway point, Korea raised its momentum and widened the gap. Song Se-ra extended the lead to 30-23, Lee Hye-in to 35-26, and secured the victory.

There was no reversal. Following Lim Tae-hee, Song Se-ra, who competed in the final round, demonstrated overwhelming skill and filled in the remaining points, confirming Korea's épée team's advance to the final.
