Chinese sabre fencer Zhong Man ended his career after helping Jiangsu win the sabre team gold medal at the National Games in September.
"I think I can say this tournament was the last stop in my career. This was my last real competition, so I cherished the chance so much. I desperately wanted to win the team gold after failing in the individual event," said the 30-year-old.
