After the silver medal in the team event at the Paris Olympics, Jeon Ha-young has demonstrated storm growth in international competitions. Ha Yong-young is the leading ace from the `junior world champion.' After winning two individual and team titles at the 2021 World Youth Championships in Cairo, Egypt, Ha entered Jincheon National Training Center and played a decisive role in winning the silver medal, the highest ever in women's sabre team events, along with Yoon Ji-soo, Choi Se-bin and Jeon Eun-hye at this year's Paris Olympics. Jeon hails from Daejeon, the same hometown as the men's sabre grand slammer and Paris Olympic gold medalist Oh Sang-wook. His height of 1 meter 75 meters, long arms and legs, overwhelming physical strength, positive mindset, and aggressive tendencies have earned him the nickname "Woman Oh Sang-wook" from the fencing community. After winning her first gold medal in the orang women's sabre World Cup in Algeria on the 10th of last month, Jeon Ha-young rose to the highest podium again in a month and jumped to the third place in the world of 'individual highest ranking'. Following Kim Ji-yeon, Korea's first female sabre gold medalist, and Yoon Ji-soo, who collaborated for the silver medal at the Paris Olympics, she was proudly listed in the Korean women's sabre 'Walkle ace' genealogy.
