Gold medal bout from the 2009 St. Petersburg Men’s Foil Grand Prix. This bout pitted Japan’s Yuki Ota against Italy’s Andrea Cassara. Cassara was coming off a disappointing end to the 2008 season with his early exit at the Beijing Olympics and Ota earned Silver at those same Games.
The bout is a clash in styles as Cassara uses his reach against the quick Ota.
