Sun Yiwen (simplified Chinese: 孙一文; traditional Chinese: 孫一文; pinyin: Sūn Yīwén, born 17 June 1992) is a Chinese left-handed épée fencer.[1] Sun is a three-time team Asian champion and two-time team world champion.
A two-time Olympian, Sun is a 2016 team Olympic silver medalist, 2016 individual Olympic bronze medalist, and 2021 individual Olympic champion.
In Tokyo, Sun became the first Chinese fencer in history to win an Olympic gold medal in individual women's épée, and only the second Chinese woman to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual fencing event, after Luan Jujie, who won a gold medal in individual women's foil at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
During the press conference after her gold medal match, Sun revealed that some time before her departure for Tokyo, she was informed that her father had been diagnosed with cancer and was fighting for his life at a hospital in Beijing.[2]
