Wang Yung won the Veterans World Championship in 60-69 Men's Sabre

Wang Yung (Bellevue, Wash.) won his first Veteran World Championship title in the Vet 60 Men’s Sabre event and US fencers earned 3 medals at the Veteran World Championships on Sunday for 17 total medals and the lead in the overall medal count.

Team USA’s success not only put the squad ahead of Great Britain who earned 13 medals, but the team’s results marked the most medals earned by any U.S. team at a World Championships. (via US Fencing)

Yung was competing in his 9th Veteran Worlds event and entered the elimination phase of the tournament in 9th place.  He fought through his elimination matches until he met former British Olympian Richard Cohen.

In the gold medal bout, Yung defeated Cohen 10-7.  According to the report from US Fencing, Yung eased up in the middle of the bout to set up his final few touches to earn the world championship.

All 4 US fencers made the final 8, as Yung knocked out Philip Sbarbaro 10-6 in the quarter-finals.  David Seuss paired off with Ray Sexton in another quarter-final bout in which Seuss won 10-5 and then lost in the semi-finals to Cohen (GBR) 10-5.
