It was one voice. The women's sabre team consisting of Yoon Ji-soo, Jeon Ha-young (Seoul Metropolitan Government), Choi Se-bin (Jeonnam Provincial Government), and Jeon Eun-hye (Jung-gu Office) lost to Ukraine 42 to 45 in the team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics held in Grand Palais, Paris, France on the 4th (Korea time). However, he won a valuable silver medal. It is the first time that South Korea, ranked fourth in the world, has won a silver medal in the women's sabre team event at the Olympics. Previously, winning a bronze medal at the last Tokyo Games was the best performance. The women's sabre team, which started a generational change with Kim Ji-yeon putting down the Taegeuk mark, achieved better-than-expected results amid the strong performance of `Young Blood.' Korean fencing won medals in both men's and women's sabre events. He finished the competition with two gold medals and one silver medal.
Choi Se-bin "I always thought Koreans were the will. Park Sang-won of the men's sabre team is the same age as me, and Sang-won came to train a few days ago and came to the training and said, 'Se-bin, you can go up and turn, too. If you do that, you can really do it. I said to the sisters, 'Unni, you can do it when you're a child.' I think we're all spinning."

In the end, it was big that I couldn't go beyond Olga Harlan. Choi Se-bin said "I thought Olga was good at fencing as well as being seasoned by nature. No matter how well we hang in there, I thought we would lose if we didn't hold out exactly to Olga, but the tactics didn't work well, and Olga was calm. That's why I think I lost." Ha Yong-young "It was a burdensome position, but I tried to keep calm. But since Olga is such a veteran, he seems to have been pushed back from his boldness and calmness."
Through this competition, young players have gained a lot. Jeon Ha-young said, `Through this competition, I learned that I can do it, too. I will make sure to win the gold medal in four years." Jeon Eun-hye said, `Isn't Korean women's fencing too reliable?'" adding, `We have a lot of trust and trust in each other that nothing can interfere with. I wonder if I won a silver medal to win the gold medal next time."
