Koo Bon-gil entered the semifinals with a 15-14 win over Shenzhenpeng (China) in the men's saber individual quarterfinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Hangzhou University of Electronics Gymnasium in China on the 25th.

Gu Bon-gil is attempting to win the men's saber individual event for the fourth time in a row, following the 2010 Guangzhou, 2014 Incheon, and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games.

He holds 5 gold medals in the Asian Games, including 2 in the team competition, and if he wins both the individual and team competitions in this competition, he will become Korea's gold medalist with the most gold medals (7) at the Summer Asian Games.

Koo Bon-gil, who defeated Nazarbai Satarkhan (Kazakhstan) 15-6 in the round of 16 on this day, came from behind to win after an unexpected struggle in the quarter-finals against Shenzhenpeng of the host country, China.

After the tide went down in the middle, they were pushed to 10-14 and were on the verge of elimination, but Koo Bon-gil scored 5 points in a row from then on, pulling off an unbelievable comeback to win.

Koo Bon-gil, after the quarterfinals, said, "I was mentally shaken when I gave up points in a move I thought was certain.

Oh Sang-uk, who won the silver medal by losing by one point in the final against Koo Bon-gil in the individual competition at the last Jakarta Asian Games, also easily advanced to the semifinals.

The semifinals will be held from 7 PM on this day, Korean time, and Koo Bon-gil will clash with Yousif Al-Shamlan (Kuwait) and Oh Sang-wook will clash with Mohammad Rahbari (Iran).

The finals are scheduled to be held at 8:50 p.m.

Women's foil's Se-na Hong (Ansan City Hall) also joined her in the semifinals of the individual event, securing her bronze medal.

Sena Hong defeated Kuhioram (Macau) in the round of 16 and Amita Berthier (Singapore) in the quarterfinals, 15-11.

Hong Hyo-jin (Seongnam City Hall) lost 10-15 in the quarterfinals against Daphne Chan (Hong Kong) and did not fall within her medal range.
