[Asian Games] Choi In-jeong and Song Se-ra, Who Competed for the Individual Title, Show ‘Golden Smiles’ Together in the Team Match
Song Sera "I was desperate for the last group exhibition with my sister"... Choi In-jeong "It was a finish worthy of 'Golden Boy'"
The 'epee sisters', who stood opposite each other for the individual gold medal, laughed as they won the gold medal together in the team competition.
Choi In-jeong (Gyeryong City Hall) and Song Se-ra (Busan Metropolitan City Hall) won the Korean team along with Kang Young-mi (Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Office) and Lee Hye-in (Gangwon Provincial Office) in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games fencing women's epee team event held at the Puyang Inhu Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 27th.

It was Korea's first gold medal in the women's epee team event at the Asian Games 21 years after the 2002 Busan Games.
Choi In-jeong and Song Se-ra, who led Korea's team event 'winner' after winning silver medals in the past two competitions in a row, faced each other for the gold medal in the individual event three days ago.
Her 'older sister' Choi In-jeong, who was born in 1990 and is three years older than her, defeated Song Se-ra by one point after a close overtime battle to win her first Asian Games gold medal.
Choi In-jeong, who later declared, “I plan to retire from the national team at the end of this year,” won her second and final gold medal together with her teammates, including Song Se-ra.
When they won the silver medal in the team event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics with the same members as the present, the women's epee team celebrated by raising a matching 'laurel wreath' shaped friendship ring at the awards ceremony.
“She is very happy to be able to finish her off with two gold medals,” said Choi In-jeong, who won two gold medals in her last Asian Games.
“I’m really happy because it’s a finish worthy of ‘Geumdungi,’” he said, adding, “It’s a very happy thing for me as a player.” ‘
Geumdungi’ is a nickname the women’s epee team calls each other and their team, meaning they want to win a gold medal.
Song Se-ra said , Since it was Injeong's last team event with us, I was even more desperate for the gold medal and really wanted to win.
“I wanted to win a gold medal with this member one last time,” he said.
“I feel good that the results I prepared well came out.”
The reason Choi In-jeong can lay down the Taegeuk symbol with ease may be because she has an outstanding successor named Song Se-ra. Song Sera promised the next stage, saying,
"I feel good about getting good results in her first Asian Games.
I went through hard training in Korea, and I think the results will be as good as the sweat I put in, so it will remain as a memory."
Choi In-jeong said, "I'm not worried at all about my younger brothers and sister Young-mi.
I have no doubt that they will win the gold medal that I missed at the Paris Olympics next year," adding, "You have worked hard so far, and I am grateful, and I will support you hard in the future."
