TOKYO (Reuters) â Japanese fencing sisters Rio and Sera Azuma crashed out in the preliminaries of the individual womenâs fencing on Sunday, putting an end to their dream of winning individual medals at the Tokyo Games.
Rio, 22, and Sera, 21, were both introduced to the sport by their mother, who had also competed at international levels.
âI just want to say Iâm so sorry I lost, when you had supported me for so long,â Sera said in a message to her mother as she buried her face in a towel to stem her tears.
