Oh Sang-wook, the world's No. 1 player in the Saber World Ranking, won the championship at the international competition held in Hungary last month by defeating Sillaji, the hero of the Olympic 2nd consecutive victory.



Except during games, I always wore a mask, and I was careful about quarantine enough to refrain from winning the ceremony, but I was diagnosed with Corona 19 right after returning to Korea.



[Oh Sang-wook/World's No. 1 Fencing Saber: British mutant virus." My body ache came, and I think I had almost all of my headaches and muscle pains. I didn't have a sense of smell or taste, or something like this lasted a long time.]



Before the Olympics, there was a lot of anxiety, but Sang-wook Oh endured with a positive mind.

And, after being diagnosed with a cure, I entered Jincheon Athlete's Village today and started sweating.



There are still aftereffects such as shortness of breath, but I am building my confidence by recalling the memories of winning last month.



[Sang-Wook Oh/World's No. 1 Fencing Saber: Players from other countries (training due to corona) have a bad environment. I was nervous. I think (we) are much better in this part of body care. The vaccine must be taken unconditionally.]



Sang-wook Oh made a determination to stand at the top of the Olympics of his dreams with the mental power that survived the corona.
