There's a bit of interesting drama in the lead-up to this event; Grumier was on a streak of dominance throughout the few years prior to the 2016 Olympic Games and was eyeing the 2015 world title because he has never won a championship before despite being ranked 1st in multiple seasons. He made it all the way to the finals at the 2015 World Championships in Moscow, where he faced the 40-year old Géza Imre, who sort of came out of nowhere to take the world title away from Grumier in a 15-14 gold medal bout. Fast forward to the 2016 Olympics: Grumier is looking for another chance to get his championship title, this time on an even bigger stage, and Imre is looking to complete a glorious end to his long career by winning the Olympics immediately after winning the world championships. And lo and behold, Grumier and Imre meet up once again, this time in the semifinals, where Imre dashed Grumier's hope of a championship for the second year in a row. But then, Imre suddenly found himself in the shoes of Grumier: he is now trying to win his Olympic gold medal, but instead of an opponent that's much older than him, he's facing up against Park Sang-young, who is barely half Imre's age and is fencing at his first Olympic Games. And of course, this time, it was Imre who was denied a chance of fulfilling his dream. Grumier must be thinking about how his archnemesis was getting a taste of his own medicine. Imre's expression at 1:58 shows it all; he was that close to winning both the world title and the Olympics right before his retirement.
People that fit and living in a strict training regimen would probably have absolutely no problem adjusting to military. The only downside may be the lack of dedicated practice.
Yep....he tried too hard to finish it...should've just sat back and taken his time...let Park come to him. 2:24 on the clock is an eternity in epee, but still... That's why I tell my sabre students to think like a pentathlete -- it's NOT a 5 or 15 touch bout....it's 5 or 15 ONE touch bouts.
Olympic Channel Fail. Two minutes fencing coverage for Rio, 7 hours for London. We were so looking forward to WATCH the fencing and there was no coverage.
So would you after being ahead by 4, needing only 1 to win (a double-hit would work as well), and then getting beaten by the slimmest of timing margins (I'd guess Park hit 41 or 42 ms ahead of Imre...outside the window for a double). Olympic gold was in his grasp....now he's a footnote to Park's comeback.
He keep saying 'I can do it' ... And he won! That was Amazing and Wonderful.
shut up, OH THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT no it was determination and goals
That was his point idiot

The look on Imre's face when he won silver... I feel sorry for him, I really do even though I'm Korean. What a great game.

That’s some serious novel worthy drama.
The best!
Respect!
A legend was born! ahh:)
I was watching it on tv and I heard him say I can do it in Korean
GREATEST comeback
Greatest comeback among Olympics gold medal games

Bronze is always happy to just make it, and Silver is often so upset that it was that close to Gold..
That hurts so much for the Hungarian guy

The letter E in Imre is pronunced as the first e in the elephant. [ˈimrɛ]

Yeah there is absolutely no video of the whole bout between the two
Legit just noticed the gold korean guys name is PARK KOR 1:45
That's not his name. Park is his last name, KOR stands for the country he's representing, Korea. In the video they say his name is Park Sang Young.
It’s not his name but still very funny

@@samsignorelli you explained that with perfection
@@goose2835 And I fence sabre! I'm a horrible epeeist. of course, I'm ALSO an armorer, so I kinda need to know things like that.
I was sure he threw the rapier into the audience ...would've been ....it POKED some concern in me :P
It's called an Épée. Rapier is not olympic fencing
Nor did he throw it
@@goose2835 Kinda hard to, since his body cord was still attached....plus, that'd be an immediate black card offense.
