2012 Olympic Gold Medalist Aron Szilagyi (HUN) had to settle for silver at the 2014 Gerevich-Kovacs-Karpati Men’s Sabre Grand Prix. Junghwan Kim (KOR) out-dueled Szilagyi 15-13 in the final bout. The top US finish was by Daryl Homer, who placed 11th.
Homer, seeded into the top-64 in the 13th spot, took 11th. Homer started out the round of 64 with a commanding 15-7 victory over Dmyto Boyko (UKR) and followed up with a 15-9 win over Junmo Sung (KOR). In the top-16 Homer was unable to get past 4th seed Veniamin Reshetnikov (RUS), falling 15-11.
Reshetnikov would then be ousted in a lopsided 15-5 defeat to Diego Occhiuzzi (ITA).
Italy led the final standings with 3 fencers in the final 8 and 2 in the final 4 as Luigi Samele (ITA) won his top-8 bout against Nicolas Rousset (FRA). Enrico Berre (ITA) was the 3rd Italian to make the 8 but he lost a tight bout, 15-14, to Szilagyi.
In the semi-finals, Junghwan Kim blasted Occhiuzzi 15-4 and Szilagyi cruised past Samele with a 15-7 victory.
Other US fencers making the 2nd day were Jeff Spear, who lost in the 64 to Aldo Montano (ITA) 15-12; Eli Dershwitz, who lost to Woo Young Won (KOR) 15-7; and Benjamin Igoe who won his 64 match 15-9 against Maxim Botezatu (RUS) before falling 15-14 in the top 32 to Kamil Ibragimov (RUS).
