"Referee Was Not Fair": Bhavani Devi Fumes After Asian Games 2023 Fencing Loss
Bhavani Devi's impressive run in the women's sabre individual category at the Asian Games 2023 ended in the quarterfinals after she was defeated by China's Yaqi Shao 7-15. It was a tough loss for her as she was just one match away from a maiden Asian Games medal and after the event, she alleged that the referee was not fair. “The referee was not fair with me in the beginning, he gave a quick series of 3-4 touches to the Chinese fencer which I was sure in my mind were actually my touches,” Bhavani told The Bridge.
