TOKYO: Hong Kong's Cheung Ka Long beat defending champion Italian Daniele Garozzo to take the Olympic men's individual fencing title on Monday , also bringing home the first medal in the event for the territory.
"I just tried to talk to myself, I’m nothing against him. This is the Olympic champion, the world champion. I’m nobody, I just keep fighting until the end," Cheung said after his bout. In the women's individual sabre event, Sofia Pozdniakova of the Russian Olympic Committee won the gold medal. After her victory, her father swept her up in a hug that took her off her feet and almost landed her in the spectator stands.
Italy's Daniele Garozzo is consoled by his coach Fabio Maria Galli after losing against Hong Kong's Cheung Ka Long in the men’s individual foil gold medal bout during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on Jul 26, 2021.
