Today (27th) night at the Olympics, there are a lot of games by our athletes that we must see, so the news will start a little earlier. First, after this news, the women's fencing team finals will be held. The Korean national team, which defeated China, the world's No. 1 in the semifinals, will challenge for the first gold medal in Epee history.
This news is reporter Lee Jeong-chan.

Although they were eliminated early in the individual competition, Korea was strong in the team competition.
From the quarterfinals against the world's fifth-ranked U.S., Choi "ace" In-jeong led in front of her, and her 36-year-old older sister, Kang Young-mi, climbed the piste for the last time and clenched her fists as she advanced to the quarterfinals.
[Sister, you did well. Well done.]
[I won, I won.] In the
semi-final against China in 'World No. 1', Sera Song's performance was dazzling.
In each close match, I and I widened the score by scoring consecutive goals.
[Song Sera Fighting!]
Korea, which widened the gap even further by Choi In-jeong, who was responsible for the last three minutes, decided to go to the finals 38-29 and roared to his heart's content.
The players who suffered a great ordeal after being infected with Corona 19 last year, shed hot tears and enjoyed the joy.
[good job. Well done.] This
is the second final of the Korean women's epee after the silver medal in the team event at the 2012 London Olympics.
In the Olympics and Asian Games, it was more meaningful by beating China, the 'world's strongest', which had frustrated our challenge every time.
Our opponent in the final is Estonia, who lost by one point to us in the quarterfinals of the last tournament.
Choi In-jeong, Kang Young-mi, Song Sera and the youngest, Lee Hye-in are aiming for another lust and the first gold medal in women's epee history.
