What a run for Team Singapore at the Asian Fencing Championships 2025! Juliet Heng Jie Min lit up the piste with flair, lunging her way into a thrilling Women’s Sabre final. She fought hard against Japan’s top-ranked Emura Misaki and brought home a silver medal, making it her best international showing yet!

“I still haven't processed that I made it this far. It's just an honour and I'm just grateful for the effort that everyone has poured into me. I'm glad I didn't let them down. This medal is not just a one-person effort, it was a joint effort and it's a contribution from everyone. Having this is a big motivation and also encouragement for the whole team. I want to show people that we can do it, and also encourage my schoolmates... that we can get medals as long as we work hard and believe," shared Juliet.
