CHIBA, Japan: Hungarian fencer Aron Szilagyi will chase Olympic history on Saturday when he faces Italy's Luigi Samele in the Tokyo 2020 final of the men's individual sabre event.
If he wins, defending champion Szilagyi, 31, will become the first ever man to win three gold medals in a single discipline. "I'm very excited to enter my third Olympic final. I am highly motivated... and hope I can be at my best shape possible," Szilagyi told Reuters after a tight and tense semi-final win against Georgian Sandro Bazadze.More Related News
