South Korean fencer A Lam Shin has been offered “a special medal” after a controversial last-second defeat in the women’s individual epee semi-final on Monday.
The International Fencing Federation announced on Tuesday that the medal will be for “aspiration to win and respect for the rules.”
Korean Olympic Committee president Park Yung-sung confirmed on Tuesday that Shin has been offered a consolation prize, but Shin reportedly refuses to accept it.
“It does not make me feel better because it's not an Olympic medal,” Shin told The Guardian. “I don't accept the result because I believe it was a mistake.”
