"I thought we prepared well for the game...."

Song Se-ra (Busan Metropolitan City Hall) shed tears. Song Se-ra again failed to cross the Olympic round of 16. Song Sera lost 6-15 to Hungary's Ester Mouhouri in the round of 16 of the women's fencing epee at the 2024 Paris Olympics at Grand Palais in Paris, France, on the 27th (Korea time). Song Se-ra, who was desperate after being eliminated from the round of 16 at the previous Tokyo Games, tried to win the gold medal in this tournament, but failed to advance to the quarterfinals. Song Se-ra, who has emerged as a hope for women's epee by winning individual and team events at the 2022 World Championships, has recently been selected as a strong candidate for a medal with a scary rise.

In the first period, Song Se-ra was dragged away by losing the first two points. He recovered one point and finished the first period with a score of 1-2. Song Se-ra went in pursuit with a bold attack in the second period. However, the waistline was not easy. Chasing to 4-5, he gave the opponent an attack and dragged the second period to 5-7.

the third period of fate. Song Sera allowed two points first, widening the 5-9 margin. He gave up two points again, effectively ending the game. He did his best until the end, but rather allowed more attacks and lost by a large margin.

Song Se-ra, who met in the mixed zone after the game, already had tears in her eyes. When the reporters asked the question, I couldn't speak. "I went in thinking I prepared well for the game, but the timing I wanted was not as good as I thought, so I think the game went a little hard from the beginning. "I'm sorry for the individual competition, but there are other team competitions, so I'll prepare well for the team competition and make sure to show good results." Then "It was one of the players I've played against many times, but I think the player prepared well." I didn't feel that it was too difficult in terms of physique, but I think I lacked a lot in terms of technology and timing.

The individual competition was a pain, but now the team competition remains. Song Se-ra said "We are very disappointed because all three of us fell faster than expected in the individual competition, but the team competition will be held soon." We will prepare well and supplement what we need to supplement well. We will prepare well." Finally, he said "I hope it will be a pleasant cry then."
