So referee for our first semi-final is Ignacio Casares of Spain. Four judges
are Basil Malenchev of Bulgaria and Yevgeny Diakokhin of Kazakhstan.
Tak right. Referee retrieving the remote control. So video review requested.
Park has had a great day today. In the quarterfinals he beat Sandro Bizadze.
And in the round of 16 he defeated Matias Sabo. And he's extraordinarily fast
and has that that sort of trademark Korean style. Very acrobatic. Dances in and out.
Draws the attack. Hits with a counter-attack. Dances at a distance. Starts to build his attack
and is hit with a counter-attack himself. Video review and call stands.
Attack left. Attack right. Park builds the attack. Falls short. There's an attack coming for him.
Now the referee's going to have a look at this. Was there a blade contact? Did Park Sang-won
get a parry and pause? Did Rodin go into the guard the other way around?
We're level at six. Attack left. Park comes in. Takes the blade and again attack from the left.
And that will take us to the one minute break. But Park has not not let up at all today. He's
been supremely confident. Well considering that he's knocked out Matias Sabo and Sandro Bizadze
in short order. And we will start our second period in our first Men's Sabre
semi-final match. Park went to test his weapon. Didn't get a light up. But that's all sorted.
Attack left. No. And a quick flick to the near target. Park counter-attack. Well it's been
reversed. Counter-attack from the right. Not counter-attack. A parry at riposte right.
Park picks up the right of way. Gets the hit. Park puts his hand up on the call of Ale and earns
himself a yellow card in the process. Attack left. Park backing up on the face of that attack.
Gets the parry. The riposte. And opens up three point lead. That's what he's been doing all day.
Attack left. Goes through. Attack right. Oh. Attack from the left. No. Got a two point match.
Park goes looking for the blade. Didn't find it. Attack left. Attack from the right. Goes through.
Attack right is the call. Level at 14. So when the score is level at 14, then
referee must look at the video before making the call. Attack left. And Park Sangwon
into the gold medal match to face either world number two or world number five.
And it looks like Yevgeny Diakokhin of Kazakhstan will referee our second semifinal.
We've got Sebastian Patrice, world number five. He's had World Cup golds in Madrid and Oran
in Algeria. Oran this last past year. He's going to face very popular Faris Perjani of Tunisia.
