HÀ NỘI — “Sabre queen” Nguyễn Thị Lệ Dung won a ticket to the Rio Olympics yesterday after her victory against Taiwanese fencer Tiffany Dell’Aquila in the sabre final of the Asia-Pacific zone qualification.

Dung’s victory confirmed a third ticket to Rio this summer for Vietnamese fencers after Nguyễn Thị Như Hoa (epee) and Vũ Thành An (sabre) secured their own tickets on Monday. Hoa topped the competition in her category and An earned a spot among the top three.
