Park Sang-won, the youngest member of the team that won the gold medal in the team event at the Paris Olympics, won the bronze medal. It is the third medal of the season and the second consecutive medal following the first gold medal of the Tunisian Grand Prix on the 10th. The world ranking has already jumped to 7th place. The Avengers senior and junior players took to the podium side by side for the first time since the Paris Olympics and smiled broadly.
After the Paris Olympics, Oh Sang-wook and Koo Bon-gil briefly put down the national flag and chose to rest and recharge. He enjoyed small hours with his family and friends, which he couldn't do because he was devoted to fencing, and went on various activities such as broadcasting and advertising. After a brief comma, Oh became stronger. The sword of the world champion was rusty. In the New Year's Day, coach Won Woo-young of the 'Legend Senior' and seven members of the national sabre team took part in the World Cup, showing off the solidity of the 'Olympic Champion' by climbing to the top.
