Yun Jisu'15, a graduate student in the Graduate School of Sport and Industry, won the first ever silver medal in the women's sabre team event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Sunday (Aug. 4). The women's sabre team, comprised of Jeon Ha Young, Choi Se Bin, and Jeon Eun Hye, lost 42-45 to Ukraine, but the team's performance surpassed their bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Yun Jisu is the only alumna to compete in the women's sabre team event at both the 2020 and 2020 Olympics.
Since her call-up to the national team in 2011 as a high school senior, she has consistently excelled, winning gold in the women's sabre individual event at the 2012 Asian Fencing Championships, gold in the women's sabre team event at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, gold in the women's sabre team event at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, and gold in the women's sabre individual event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.
Yun Jisu's alumni father is former Lotte Giant coach Yun Hak Gil, a legendary pitcher known for winning the most games (100) and complete games (75) in KBO history during his playing days.
