Katrina Lehis leads Estonia to first fencing gold in women's team epee event

Katrina Lehis already etched her name into history as the first fencer from Estonia to win an Olympic medal by claiming a bronze in the women's individual epee event earlier this week, but she didn't stop there. The 26-year-old delivered the final touch against South Korea in the gold medal match of the women's team epee event to clinch Estonia's first ever fencing gold. 

Lehis, Julia Beljajeva and Erika Kirpu entered the quarterfinals seeded seventh out of eight teams. The three women collectively scored 36 points to South Korea's 32. Song Sera, Kang Young Mi and Choi In-jeong took home the silver.
