Ukraine Wins First Gold Medal in Women's Team Saber Fencing at Paris Olympics, Defeating South Korea 45-42
Aug 3, 2024, 06:51 PM
Ukraine has achieved a significant milestone at the 2024 Paris Olympics, securing its first gold medal in the women's team saber fencing event. The Ukrainian team, consisting of Olga Kharlan, Olena Kravatska, Alina Komashchuk, and Yuliia Bakastova, triumphed over South Korea with a final score of 45-42. This victory follows Olga Kharlan's earlier success in winning a bronze medal in the women's individual saber event on July 29, where she narrowly defeated South Korea's Choi Se-bin 15-14. Kharlan's participation was notable due to her controversial disqualification in July 2023 for refusing to shake hands with a Russian opponent. The Ukrainian team had previously defeated Italy 45-37 in the quarterfinals and advanced to the semi-finals. The gold medal win has been celebrated as a proud moment for the nation, highlighting their resilience and competitive spirit.
