MUMBAI: That came in the form of a historic individual bronze in sabre at the Asian Fencing Championships on Monday in Wuxi, China, where India's first Olympic fencer also became its first to medal at the senior continental event.

The 29-year-old achieved the biggest victory of her career by beating world champion and world No. 1 Emura Misaki of Japan 15-10 to enter the semi-finals. Eyeing the final and an upgrade in the medal colour, she lost to Uzbekistan's Zaynab Dayibekova, the eventual champion, in a close 15-14 finish.
