Park Sang-young (Korean pronunciation: [pak̚.s͈aŋ.jʌŋ] or [pak̚] [saŋ.jʌŋ]; born 16 October 1995) is a South Korean right-handed épée fencer, three-time team Asian champion, 2021 team Olympic bronze medalist, and 2016 individual Olympic champion.[1]
Early life
[edit]Park was introduced to fencing in middle school. He nearly had to give up the sport as his family could not afford the expensive equipment but financial aid from a non-profit charity and his admission into Gyeongnam Physical Education High School , a public school, allowed him to continue to fencing.[2][3][4] During his first year in high school, he won first place in the individual épée category at the national high school championships.[4]
Career
[edit]Park was junior world champion in Moscow in 2012, becoming the first South Korean male junior fencer to win a medal in the épée event.[5][4] He qualified for the senior national team in 2013 by winning the national championship, a rarity for a high school student as fencers generally competed at collegiate level before making the step up. Dubbed a "monster rookie", he made headlines by narrowly defeating veterans Kweon Young-jun and Jung Jin-sun.[4][6]
Park joined the senior category in the 2013–14 season, during which he won the 2014 Doha Grand Prix and the 2014 Berne Grand Prix.[7] As part of the South Korean team he won a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Fencing Championships in Suwon and at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon,[8] as well as a silver medal at the 2014 World Fencing Championships.[9] He finished the season world no.3.[1]
The 2014–15 season proved more difficult for Park. He sustained a knee injury while fencing against Pavel Pitra of the Czech Republic in the table of 16 at the March Grand Prix in Budapest, Hungary.[10] The injury prevented him from taking part in the 2015 Asian Championships and the World Championships. He returned to competition a year later, winning a bronze medal in the Vancouver world cup in February 2016.[11]
