Bhavani Devi Upsets Olympic Medallist Ozaki But Falls Short In Coupe Acropolis Main Draw
CA Bhavani Devi: Indian fencer Bhavani Devi produced a moment of brilliance at the 2025 Coupe Acropolis, defeating Japan’s Olympic and World Championships medallist Seri Ozaki in a nail-biting contest. However, her campaign was cut short in the next round as she suffered a setback against China’s Zhang Xinyi in the Table of 64 match.
Bhavani, who made history as India's first-ever Olympic fencer at the Tokyo 2020 Games, has had a challenging journey over the past year, missing out on qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympics. But in Athens, she showed her mettle by overcoming a tough opponent in Ozaki, clinching a thrilling 15-14 victory in the preliminary Table of 64 match.
Ozaki, a 22-year-old Japanese fencer, boasts an impressive record, having secured a team bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics as well as the 2022 World Championships.
