I think the good thing about today was that I was able to flexibly change my fighting style depending on the opponent. In fencing, just because you did well today, you don’t know if it will go well tomorrow, so I want to reflect carefully, reset, and prepare for the team competition and the Paris Olympics. Thank you to everyone who supported us.

Throughout the day’s matches, there were some areas where I felt like I was getting a good result, but I also found a lot of issues, so I’d like to take advantage of what I could use to gain confidence, reflect on the issues, and use them for the next time. We will do our best to win the gold medal in the next team competition. [2024 Asian Championship (Kuwait) Tournament Results URL] https://x.gd/89AIo
