' New Avengers' will face home team France (4th in the world) in the semifinals of the men's sabre team event at the Paris Olympics at 10:50 p.m. (Korea time) on the 31st (Korea time). France became the world's strongest opponent by winning against Egypt in the quarterfinals. South Korea easily beat Canada 45-33 in the quarterfinals, setting a good first step toward its first-ever goal of three consecutive losses.
Koo Bon-gil (35, Korea Sports Promotion Corporation, world No. 22), Oh Sang-wook (28, world No. 1), Park Sang-won (24, world No. 23), and Do Kyung-dong (25, world No. 1), are the best in the world.
After lightly confirming his advance to the semifinals with a great victory, Koo Bon-gil, the oldest member of the men's sabre team in the mixed zone, asked which team would be more advantageous for the finals, Koo Bon-gil said "They're both similar." "Of course, when France comes up, there are some concerns because of the heat of the home audience, but it doesn't matter who comes up because he trained well to prepare for such noise in Jincheon. It's the Olympics, so it accurately sets the referee, and it's not swayed by the crowd or the outside environment. We will be able to perform well enough if we just show what we have practiced."
He has already conducted various training sessions in preparation for the crisis, such as training to withstand it by putting a microphone on a speaker and generating strong noise, and training to shake the mental state by calling an international referee and making a mock judgment. The world's strongest Avengers is as good as France in terms of skills. He is determined to show the power of K-fencing properly in Grand Palais, the center of the fencing master country. France will be followed by Sebastian Patrice (6th in the world), Maxim Pianfetti (15th in the world), and Bollard Apiti (8th in the world).
I don't remember losing against France very much. The problem is the home spectator variable. …The enthusiasm of the 9000-strong home crowd filling the Grand Palais is beyond imagination. Whenever a point comes out by waving the tricolor, Grand Palais leaves, cheers and stomps, and whenever a video decision comes out against his country, he boos "Woo~" without hesitation.
The first to confirm the advance to the semifinals 'New Avengers' finished the mixed zone interview leisurely and waited for the results of the France-Egypt match while watching the on-site monitor. After a 39-39, 40-40 seesaw game, the players calmly left as France led 43-40. Solid confidence was read.
