Kiria, who is ranked 64th in the world, made her Games debut at the COVID-delayed Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

She is the second Singapore fencer to book her ticket to Paris, after compatriot Amita Berthier confirmed her spot at the Games last month.

Berthier, 23, qualified for the Olympics after finishing joint 20th in the women’s foil event at the International Fencing Federation (FIE) Grand Prix in Washington on Mar 17.

Samuel Robson, 18, will join Kiria and Berthier should he beat Chinese Taipei’s Chen Yi-Tung in the men’s foil final later on Sunday.
