KBS fencing commentators Kim Jung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho finished the tournament with a storm of nagging toward the women's sabre team.

The Korean women's fencing sabre team (Yoon Ji-soo, Jeon Ha-bin and Jeon Eun-hye) won a silver medal in the team finals against Ukraine, losing 42-45 to Ukraine in the morning of the 4th (Korea time). With the close race continuing until the end, Kim Jung-hwan, Kim Joon-ho, and Castor Choi Seung-don became one heart and broadcast the immersion broadcast.

In particular, Kim Joon-ho, who is called 'AI' after accurately determining whether the attack was successful before the 'fire' that comes into the scoring situation was turned on, attracted viewers with comments such as "It was too late", "It was fast", "It was blocked" and cool yet hot commentary.



During the confrontation between Korea's Jeon Eun-hye and Ukraine's Alina Komasichuk, when the score was unfortunately given to the other side, commentator Kim Jun-ho pointed out calmly, "'Jeon Eun-hye did well earlier, of course, but the other side did better.'" But for Jeon Eun-hye's scoring situation "Good job!`' roared away.

Afterwards, even after the last order, Ha Yong-young appeared, 'Sabre senior nagging' continued. Commentator Kim Jun-ho said, "When Ha-young's attack failed, it's too late. You can't rush it after seeing exactly that it's being late " I keep telling you, you have to throw away the action that goes in at once, 'one action'. You have to split your movements and go in." The shaking appearance means "You have to think about the next move, and you have to forget about the current one."," he said.



South Korea, which was in a neck-and-neck race with Ukraine, was eventually dragged 42-44 and lost if it gave up a point. At this time, when Jeon Ha-young and Ukraine's Olha Harlan clashed, caster Choi Seung-don exclaimed that Jeon Ha-young's attack was through. However, Commissioner Kim Jun-ho "I'm stuck..." and soon Ukraine scored. Commissioner Kim Jun-ho "I could have watched the video once..."Ukraine won the gold medal, with a lot of disappointment.

Castor Choi Seung-don said "Still, the men's sabre and the women's sabre were very strong and cool." In particular, young players showed outstanding performance"I praised the national team for its best-ever performance of silver after the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics." Kim Joon-ho also said, `Next time, I can win a gold medal enough. Perhaps the female sabre athletes felt the most and improved their skills at this Olympics" encouraged.



Finally, Kim Jung-hwan said, `I really didn't know Korean fencing had developed like this for both men and women sabres. I'm so proud of you. You did a great job"Go to Korea and rest comfortably for the time being, and fill up what's lacking and regrettable at the Asian Games two years later and the LA Olympics four years later," he said, concluding the broadcast with warm words.
