The emerging fencing nations of Poland and the USSR may have won gold in the other men’s individual events but the sabre remained a fixed point in the fencing universe. The Olympic champion in Tokyo was Tibor Pézsa, a Hungarian who extended his nation’s winning streak to nine Olympic Games. Pézsa was more usually known as an important member of the Hungarian roster in team events than for his successes as an individual and did not overly impress in the early stages of competition. As more fancied fencers exited, Pézsa always managed to do just enough to survive and found himself in the final pool alongside World Champion Yakov Rylsky and Umyar Mavlikhanov of the USSR and French champion Claude Arabo. Both Pézsa and Arabo took two victories out of three and had to fight a barrage for the title. The Hungarian upheld national honour with a 5-3 victory. Pézsa returned in 1968 and added a bronze medal in this event.
