Italy won the silver medal in the
men's team sabre fencing event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on
Wednesday, missing out on gold with a 45-26 defeat to South
Korea in the final.
The Italian team is made up of Luca Curatoli, Enrico Berrè,
Luigi Samele and 2004 individual sabre Olympic champion Aldo
Montano, who is at his fifth Games.
"The better team won," said Paolo Azzi, the president of the
Italian fencing federation.
"We knew that the pace of the Koreans was terrible for anyone.
"But this is not a painful defeat. It would have taken something
special to get gold".
