Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[copravolley 229]

Italy have a big problem in sabre general, but among women, it was almost a miracle that we advanced to these games. We have a problem because our fencers are simply average. France became a leading power in 3 years and after Tokyo 2021, they started from a level similar to ours. In men, our all saber team is also saved once again by a veteran - Samele, who in Montano's times was considered a solid average fencer rather than a champion.

Easy win for France, no medal for Iran 

[Monzanator 4,457]

Rabb is getting torched by reserve Dong and Korea wins the round 5-0 to move 35-29 ahead!

[Federer91 2,725]

If anything has shown us here, it's that South Korea (and Japan) can't lose at these Olympics 

[Monzanator 4,457]

Park wins the penultimate bout 5-4 and Korea leads 40-33 before the Oh vs Szilagyi showdown.

[lapaj 379]

Another powerhouse fell before Korea!

 

Congratulations !

 

[Monzanator 4,457]

wins 45-41! Szilagyi gave it a good try but the deficit was too much. That Korean reserve really made the crucial difference.

[Vektor 3,325]

That was an acceptable defeat and a great silver medal. There weren't any doubts about the Korean gold, they are clearly ahead of everyone else atm. 

[MagyarBabu 153]

That 0-5 from Dong was brutal. A part from that, Rabb easily the best one from our team today.
