Moving on to 2016 Rio Olympics... and day four was a golden day for Team Korea and, in particular, young Korean fencer Park Sang-young.
For more on his remarkable performance that caught many by surprise,... and the rest of the day's action,... Lee Un-shin reports.
Standing atop the podium and beaming with pride,...the 20-year-old fencer could barely contain his elation.
Bringing home Korea's third gold of the Rio Olympics, and its very first in Epee,... Korea's Park Sang-young defeated Geza Imre of Hungary 15-14 in the final.
The crowd was on the edge of their seats throughout the thrilling match.
At one point, Imre was just a point away from victory, leading 14-10, but in a stunning comeback Park scored five points in a row to seal a historic victory.
The first time Olympian dropped to his knees to soak in his triumph.
It was especially impressive when you consider Park -- ranked 21st in the world, beat a 41-year-old Olympic veteran who is ranked third in the world.
And his route to the final, was no easy ride either.
On his way to gold,... he also defeated Italy's Enrico Garozzo, the world's second best fencer, displaying a range of calm, yet fiercely aggressive attacks.
On top of Park's golden performance,... Team Korea's Chang Hye-jin and Lee Seung-yun on Tuesday comfortably fired their way into the round of 16 in the women's and men's individual archery events.
