Our saber team, which swept gold, silver and bronze medals in the individual event, was also overwhelming in the team event.



In the final between Korea and Japan, first runner Jun-ho Kim scored the first score and did not allow a single turnaround.



And 'the youngest ace' Sang-wook Oh finished his victory by 12 points and clenched his fists.



With his eldest brother Kim Jung-hwan as a member of the Tokyo Olympics gold medalist, he climbed to the top of Asia for the second time in a row, and Koo Bon-gil took home two gold medals following the individual event.



[Gu Bon-gil / Fencing Saber National Team: I was able to win a medal again because of my colleagues.

(Next month) I will work hard so that I can win the World Championships 4 times in a row.]



The Saber national team, who confirmed 'the world's strongest' by winning the Olympic Games twice in a row last year, was joined by coach Won Woo-young, who worked with Kim Jung-hwan and Koo Bon-gil in 'London Myth', and became a real team player. We are being reborn as a team.



[Won Woo-young / Fencing Saber national team coach: I expressed my aspiration to make 'Avengers' of 'extraordinary walls' that no one can overcome.

I asked Junghwan for help.

He promised to go to Paris together.





The Tokyo silver medalist and the women's épée team also defeated Hong Kong to rise to the top of Asia for the second time in a row.



Despite ace Choi In-jeong's injury gap, the 'eldest sister' Young-mi Kang, Se-ra Song, and Hye-in Lee took the championship with ease by accumulating scores one after another.
