There is drama in the women's fencing competition as the South Koreans refuse to accept the referee's decision in the semi-finals.

A dramatic ending to the semi-finals of the women's fencing tournament has led to a severe delay to the competition's medal stages.

With the match between Lam Shin of South Korea and Britta Heidmann of Germany deadlocked at 5-5 a late move by the German to win the contest remained under dispute.

The Koreans insisted that the point was won after the end of the match, resulting in a considerable period of consultation from the judges.

After around 30 minutes the judges returned and agreed with the referee's decision to award Heidmann the victory, resulting in a formal written appeal from the Korean coach.

An emotional Lam Shin refused to leave the arena because doing so would be an acceptance of the decision of the tournament's technical directors.

The result remains under scrutiny as the judges consider the Koreans' written appeal.
