Vivian Kong has won the Doha Épée Grand Prix.
She was one of the 128 entrants in the event, competing in a knock-out format. Vivian won a closely contested final to take the title. The win means she retains her #1 global ranking.
Vivian turned vegan in 2017 after an injury.
“I wanted to recover faster. I kept Googling what foods to eat to recover quickly” she says.
