‘International Grand Free Championship’ from tomorrow
The world’s strongest Korean fencing saber players continue to hunt for medals at the international competitions held in the home. The 2025 International Grand Prix Championships, which will be held at the SK Handball Stadium in Seoul Olympic Park from the 2nd to 4th, will be played by 40 Korean athletes, including Oh Sang -wook (29, Daejeon City Hall), the Paris Olympic Men’s Saber 2 Kwan Oh Sang -wook (29, Daejeon City Hall) last year. Grand Prix is a prestigious competition with many world ranking points after the Olympics and the World Championships during the Fencing International Competition. More than 340 people from 31 countries will participate in this year’s competition.
Oh Sang -wook, who spent the time to recharge after the Paris Olympics, will compete in the international competition this season without being part of the national team. However, it is still the world’s No. 1 male Saber and is considered a strong candidate in this tournament.
Oh Sang -wook said at the media day held at the Olympic Parktel in Songpa -gu, Seoul on the 30th. Like Oh Sang -wook, Gu Bon -gil (36, National Sports Promotion Corporation), who is currently leaving the national team, said, “I hope the game can work hard but help juniors.”
In this tournament, the world’s third -largest Pares Perzani (28, Tunisia), who played with Oh Sang -wook in the Paris Olympic Finals, will also be looking forward to the return match.
