Fun fact. Cheung Ka Long won junior world championships a year after Rio olympics, and then took bronze at the next world cup (St. Petersburg 2017). He was fencing too good there (especially for a 20-year-old guy). But Iimura Kazuki did the same! He won juniors in 2022 (after Tokyo 2021) and immediately took bronze in Belgrade 😅. Is it the coincidence or we know who gonna be the next Olympic champion 😂

Ah, but the major differences between those two is that Tokyo was Cheung’s second Olympics. And Cheung is genetically the most perfect specimen for foil fencing - both over 190cm and left handed

[@gavriil-e]

@@Dancingtuna Oh, yeah, you're right. I remember Ka Long saying that Rio taught him focus, mental toughness, and that he began to ignore all distractions (the screams of the fans, for example; he had a bout with Toldo, who was fencing in front of the home crowd). It was very useful to him in the quarterfinals in Tokyo, as we all remember 😄

This pediction aged well, who knew they would meet in the semis before Cheung's triumph
