Rong wins individual foil category A gold in Rio

Xinhua, September 15, 2016 Adjust font size:

Rong Jing claimed China's sixth wheelchair fencing gold medal at the Rio Olympics on Wednesday, winning the women's individual foil category A title.

The 27-year-old defeated Yu Chui Yee of Hong Kong, China, 15-8 in the final.

"I'm very, very happy. I'm so happy to be able to participate at the Paralympic Games in such a beautiful city and winning a gold makes me even happier," Rong said.

"I've played against Yu for five or six years. We've known each other for so long and played in so many different matches. That made everything even more difficult to win gold, but that is why it feels even better now that I won it." Endit
