Olympian C. A. Bhavani Devi has created history by defeating reigning World Champion Misaki Emura in the Asian Fencing Championship quarterfinal and securing India its first-ever medal at the event.
The Indian fencer stunned the world number one 15-10 to enter the women’s sabre semifinal.
Bhavani, however, lost to Uzbekistan’s Zaynab Dayibekova in the semifinals, 15-14, securing a bronze medal.
Bhavani had earlier stunned reigning world champion Misaki Emura of Japan 15-10 in the quarterfinals to script history.
Misaki had won the women's sabre gold medal at the 2022 World Fencing Championships held in Cairo.
It was Bhavani's first win over Misaki as she had lost all her matches against the Japanese in the past.
Bhavani Devi, who became the first Indian fencer to qualify for the Olympics, exited in the round of 32 at the Tokyo Games.
