Jeon Ha-young, a junior champion who led the women's sabre team silver medal at the Paris Olympics last year, has continued to grow solidly on the world stage this season. He rose to No. 1 in the world by winning the orang World Cup in Algeria, France's Orléans Grand Prix, and SK's Seoul Grand Prix, but lost to Japan at the recent Asian Championship and gave up No. 1 place to Emura Misaki 'the Japanese ace', but he gained momentum by winning the Line-Rour U tournament.
As soon as the women's sabre team event is over, Jeon Ha-young will join the national team of the International Fencing Federation (FIE) World Championship (FIE) in Tbilisi, Georgia, to compete once again with the world's strongest swordsmen. He will challenge for the first individual podium at the World Championships with confidence in the gold energy of the U tournament.
