2023 밀라노 세계선수권 | 펜싱 남자 사브르 단체전 대한민국 v 미국

On the Right - Team Korea
Korea had won every World Championships and the Olympics since 2017.

During this season, Team Korea's dominance of the circuit was questioned multiple times - particularly when the team of OH Sanguk 오상욱  KIM Junho 김준호, and GU Bongil 구본길 lost to Georgia in the Round of 8 at the Madrid World Cup.

Additionally, while OH Sanguk 오상욱 and Kim Junghwan had been injured for a few months at different points of the season, DO Gyeongdong and PARK Sangwon had been brought in on few of the earlier competitions. Confusingly, in the later part of the season, despite DO's good performance and KIM being almost crippled, KIM was still chosen as the substitute for most competitions - including for the Asian Games. Then, for the World Championships, HA Hansol, was chosen as the substitute (despite not making any appearances on the team this season).

In the quarterfinals against China, HA was brought on for one bout, performed badly, and was not substituted into for the rest of the competition.

Individually, during this season, OH Sanguk 오상욱 won the 2023 Seoul Grand Prix, while KIM Junho 김준호 won Silver at the 2023 Asian Championships.

On the Left - Team USA
Despite some successes in the Men's Sabre Individual category, Team USA has struggled with the Men's Sabre Team category for a long time. Team USA has never won a World Championships Medal in this category. In 2016, Team USA won and made podium at a few World Cups, but after that season they have struggled to find the same success.

Then in the Season of 2022-2023, Daryl HOMER stopped competing due to injury. This has meant that Eli DERSHWITZ (now the 2023 Individual World Champion) has had to step up as the anchor. The team also dropped old members for three new members. Colin HEATHCOCK - an incredible fencer who won everything one could win at the Junior level and now gaining increasingly impressive senior results - changed his nationality from Germany to USA for that sweet PanAmerican Olympic Qualification. Mitchell SARON - former Junior World Number 1 - who enjoys counter-parries and an animal based diet. Andrew DODDO (pronounced as "Daddo"), who is now the reigning Senior PanAmerican Champion.

Besides DERSHWITZ, none of the other members are ranked in the top 16.This new team has been doing better than previous season, even winning Silver at the Madrid World Cup. Team USA also won Bronze at the Warsaw World Cup with Daryl HOMER, Grant WIllIAMS, DERSHWITZ, and HEATHCOCK.
