Vivian Kong wins Asian fencing crown
Hong Kong fencer Vivian Kong on Friday won the Asian Championships in Seoul, the second Asian crown of her career. She took the epee gold medal 12-11, after scoring the sudden-death hit in extra time in the final. Kong, 28, battled back from an 8-11 deficit against South Korean fencer Choi Injeong, the world number one epee fencer. In the semifinal match earlier in the day, she defeated teammate Natalie Chan, who went on to win bronze, as there's no bronze medal match. Kong had won the 2018 Asian Championships in Bangkok.
