Once upon a time the sabre was almost the exclusive preserve of the Hungarians. By the mid-70s those days were long gone and instead it was now the Soviet Union that dominated the discipline. The high point of the Soviet era came in 1976 in Montréal where the team swept the podium. They were so dominant that the trio only lost 3 times in 51 matches against foreign opponents. The gold medal went to Viktor Krovopuskov with fellow Soviets Vladimir Nazlymov and 1972 champion Viktor Sidyak taking silver and bronze.
