Men's sabre team quarter-finals

Hungary swept aside Canada 45-32 and will face Germany in the first semi-final of the men's sabre team event. The Germans edged a tense battle against Italy 45-43, a match that could have gone either way right up to the last hit. Korea knocked out USA 45-37 and their next opponents will be Spain who continued their giant-killing by knocking out 2nd seeds Ukraine 45-40. The Spaniards led 40-33 going into the last fight but a Ukrainian fightback meant a nervous but ultimately successful finish for the Spanish team who started the event as 10th seeds.
