CHIBA (Reuters) - South Korean fencer Oh Sang-uk cruised to victory in the round of 32 for the men's individual sabre fencing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on Saturday, laying to rest any doubt that his bout of COVID-19 this year would impact his performance.
Although Oh, who is ranked No. 1, lost his lead early in the game, he kept his calm, quickly winning back points and rounding off his bout with Andrew Mackiewicz of the United States at 15-7. He will face Egyptian fencer Mohamed Amer in the next round.
