Monster Duel: Oh Sanguk Triumphs in Paris Olympics Men's Team Saber

South Korean fencer Oh Sanguk, nicknamed 'Monster,' secured his second gold medal in the Paris Olympics by defeating Hungary and Aron Szilagyi in men's team saber. Szilagyi, a three-time individual gold medalist, couldn't orchestrate a comeback, giving South Korea another team gold after their 2012 win.

In a thrilling finale at the Paris Olympics, South Korean fencer Oh Sanguk, affectionately known as 'Monster,' clinched his second gold in men's team saber. Despite facing Aron Szilagyi, hailed as one of fencing's all-time greats, Oh led South Korea to a 45-41 victory over Hungary on Wednesday.

The match was a nail-biter with Hungary needing a nearly impossible comeback. Szilagyi, the only fencer to win three Olympic golds in men's individual events, couldn't close the gap as South Korea sealed their second consecutive team gold. When Oh landed the final touch, he celebrated by pointing his saber at his jubilant teammates.

Oh's win not only marks his third Olympic gold but also solidifies his status as a fencing legend, while Szilagyi, despite the loss, remained proud and contemplative about his future Olympic prospects.
