South Korea's fencing men's sabre team (Koo Bon-gil Oh Sang-wook, Park Sang-won, Do Kyung-dong) defeated Hungary 45-41 in the team final on the morning of the 1st (Korea time) to achieve its third consecutive victory following the 2012 London Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In the final, Do Kyung-dong's performance of 'New Avengers' shone. Do Kyung-dong, who did not participate in both the quarterfinals and semifinals of the team event, won five consecutive points in the seventh round with lightning speed, although the final was the first and last chance of the Olympics.
At Do Kyung-dong's scary performance, caster Choi Seung-don said "Do Kyung-dong is like 'the second Kim Jun-ho." It reminds me of Kim Jun-ho at the Tokyo Olympics, and Kim Jun-ho praised him, saying, `He did better than I did at the Tokyo Olympics.' Castor Choi Seung-don then said "The original Avengers could retire."Commentators Kim Jung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho responded, "'Yes.' I think I've made a really good choice, he said, drawing laughter.
With only one point left until the victory, Do Kyung-dong under the piste was also seen sitting with his head down and not seeing the game properly. In response, Kim Joon-ho fiercely agreed, saying, `I think I know how you feel.'
When Oh Sang-wook finally won his last point and confirmed his third consecutive Olympic victory, caster Choi Seung-don said, `It's not just a medal, it's a gold medal. Aren't you disappointed?" he asked Kim Jung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho. In response, the two said "Not at all. The new players did so well that we were lucky to be on the show"He was delighted as if it were his job. In addition, Kim Joon-ho said, `I met Oh Sang-wook by chance before entering, and he said he would buy me seafood dishes if I won the gold medal. But I think Oh Sangwook should buy it if he wins two awards," he said, laughing.

Compliments continued for Park Sang-won, who played a leading role in the first round with another 'New Avengers'. Commissioner Kim Jun-ho said "As I went up one game by one, I thought my skills got better" and the three said "When I think about Park Sang-won, it's all "D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D". It's bold, bold, bold, smart...," he said in unison.
On the live broadcast of the day, a meaningful phone call was also made with Koo Ah-reum, the sister of the Sabres national team 'The eldest brother' Koo Bon-gil, drawing attention. When caster Choi Seung-don said "I heard that Goo Bon-gil's second child will be born today," Goo Ah-reum said "The scheduled date is today, but it could be delayed by two to three days" In addition, he congratulated his younger brother Koo Bon-gil "Doing his best as the eldest brother, he was really the best today." When the men's sabre team finally climbed to the top of the Grand Palais podium, caster Choi Seung-don said, `Let's meet outside the stadium. I hope you have a happy night. Let's thrive with Korean fencing," he said, concluding the broadcast.
