HANGZHOU, China, Sept 28 (Reuters) - South Korea's Olympic champion fencers claimed a third consecutive gold for the nation in the Asian Games men's team sabre on Thursday after Taiwan's Lee Chih-kai retained his pommel horse title in gymnastics.
Nicknamed 'The Avengers', Oh Sang-guk, Kim Jun-ho and Gu Bon-gil silenced a raucous home crowd at the Hangzhou University Dianzi Gymnasium by comfortably beating their Chinese rivals 45-33 in the nine-bout final.
