The unilateral cheering of the 9000 home audience in France, the nation of fencing, was also useless. The men's sabre team, united with winning mentality 'World's strongest', beat France at the Paris Olympics and made it to the finals for the third consecutive time.

The driving force for victory was a strong one-team team with strong faith in each other, as has always been the case over the past decade.

After confirming the final line, Koo Bon-gil, the captain and eldest brother, said "My teammates believed that I should replace it or not because my performance was shaky in the first game. Ahead of the semifinals, he instilled confidence, saying, `Bro, you can do it.' "My colleagues believed me, so I confidently did the movement with the thought that my colleagues were behind me, and the game was solved and there was a good result."

Koo Bon-gil, who is challenging his junior teammates for the second consecutive men's sabre team tournament and is trying to win an unprecedented three consecutive games, asked "I thought the first game would be the hardest." No matter who the opponent is, he has passed the semifinal crisis for now. In the final, I am confident that I will pour out everything I have trained. There will be good results." When asked if his second child was born, Koo Bon-gil, who reported the news of '2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 1st 2nd 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 2nd 1st 2nd 2nd 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd. He can't even get in touch with his wife because he's only focused on his mission for three consecutive losses. Koo Bon-gil "The second child will be born soon, but I haven't even contacted him yet. My wife and mother-in-law don't contact me on purpose. My wife wanted to do her best and I wanted to do my best," he said with a smile.

Koo Bon-gil responded bravely to the boos that poured out as if Grand Palais were leaving every time he watched the video or scored. "Careful is rather stimulating the referee, and boos are rather bringing the atmosphere toward us. The referee could be shaken, but it was better because he held it more calmly." When asked if it was helpful to train loudspeakers and speakers in Jincheon, Koo Bon-gil laughed, saying, `It was very helpful.'

The world's strongest 'New Avengers' is trying to win three consecutive pistes with that heart when training three to four hours a day at Jincheon Training Center. "Before today's game, let's play two afternoon training games (the quarterfinals, the semifinals), do well in the night training (final) and eat." "It came out that way. The two hours of afternoon exercise ended well, so I'm going to do well in the last night training session."

8-9 Bout, France faced a fierce chase amid unilateral cheering from the French crowd. In a crisis that was shrinking to six points, Oh Sang-wook eventually did his part as an ace. He led the way to the finals with a 45-39 score. Oh Sang-wook entered the 9th Bout piste, and I definitely felt that the atmosphere was over. In the next final, I will play such a game. I'll try to play the game in a more cool way"I vowed.

The fourth member who desperately watches Koo Bon-gil, Oh Sang-wook and Park Sang-won stand at the piste is a brave junior and colleague who makes the original team more sticky. Do Kyung-dong prepared it because Won Woo-young ordered me to prepare it when the main road was shaking in the quarterfinals"I told Bon Gil-hyung that if he's not confident, I'll do it, and even if he loses, he showed a good performance in the semifinals. If you believe me, I'm a good person. I will definitely win the gold medal in the remaining finals.In fact, I'm itching because I can't run."
