RIO DE JANEIRO -- The future of mens fencing might well be Sangyoung Park.The 20-year-old South Korean sure looked like the sports next big star on Tuesday, dispatching more experienced and accomplished fencers on his way to a gold medal. Park stormed back to score the final five points and win mens epee in a matchup of the youngest and oldest competitors in the field.Park missed much of 2015 with a serious knee injury that helped push his world ranking down to 21st. But he beat 41-year-old Geza Imre of Hungary Imre 15-14 after perhaps the best rally of this tournament.It was very hard for me to come back from my injury. I kept thinking about the Olympics and taking part in it. Thats what got me back on track, Park said.Despite the loss, Imre is fencings oldest Olympic individual medalist since 1952 when another Hungarian, Aladar Gurevich, won the silver in mens sabre at 42.Its big, said Imre, who won bronze at the Atlanta Games 20 years ago. But silver is the first loser.Top-ranked Gauthier Grumier won the bronze after not letting anyone get within six points of him before the semifinals. But Imre, who also beat Grumier in the 2015 world championships, pulled ahead by three points and countered Grumiers attack with simultaneous touches to clinch the match.Park dominated Switzerlands Benjamin Steffen 15-9 to make it to the finals.No. 2 Enrico Garozzo of Italy was hoping to join his brother Daniele, who upset top-ranked American Alexander Massialas on Sunday, as an Olympic champion in Rio. But Park beat Enrico as well in the round of 16.American Jason Pryors tournament ended after just one match. He fell to Steffen 15-14.That was the most difficult bout Ive ever fenced in my life. Theres enough adrenaline to kill an elephant, Pryor said. You try to be disciplined but your body is trying to jump on the touches like a broken jack in the box.Abdulaziz Alshatti, the lone independent fencer in the Rio Olympics, was also knocked out after his first match.Alshatti is from Kuwait, whose Olympic committee was suspended by the IOC in 2015 for undue government interference. Because of that the ban, Alshattis had to qualify for Rio by winning a last-chance Asian qualifying event in April.Alshatti had the backing of a small crowd that appeared to sympathize with his plight. But Hungarys Andras Redli survived a furious late rally from the hard-charging and flamboyant Kuwaiti, winning 14-13 in epee.Brazilian people are so cooperative, and I would like to thank them for everything they did, Alshatti said. They were so great today with me and Im so happy that I fought. Chris Archer Pirates Jersey .

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Francisco Liriano Pirates Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Dave Parker Pirates Jersey . Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. Western Sydney midfielder Mitch Nichols concedes the clubs fans are owed an A-League win, and hes out to give it to them against Melbourne City on Friday night.Its been a month since the Wanderers recorded their sole win of the A-League season, away to Adelaide, and Tony Popovics side are yet to celebrate three points with their home fans.But theres no alarm at Western Sydney, where coach Popovic shares the near-universal view among the football community that strong performances will soon bring points to Wanderland.Our football is getting better each game. We need to marry the two now, the performance and the result, Popovic said on Thursday.We feel like were playing well enough to get results, to get wins. Now its about finishing the job off.The Wanderers sit seventh after six rounds, and with the worst goal difference and most goals conceded in the league.Defensive calamities have plagued the club over the last month, with Borda joining clumsy goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne in the bad books after a howler in their last-out 3-0 loss to Melbourne Victory.At the other end of the pitch, Nichols says theres more that the forwards can do that would help out their defenders.If we put those chances away we take the pressure off the defence, he said.The story of our seasson so far; weve thrown away two victories.dddddddddddd Well put 60 good minutes together and back off for 30.We do owe our fans ... (but) were not far off.Were not getting outplayed. Were in the contest. Weve been turning up.Were just really getting punished and doing schoolboy errors.The Wanderers will be without striker Brendon Santalab, with the Spotless Stadium match arriving a week too early after a calf issue suffered against Victory.Popovic said he hoped that his side could be the aggressors at their home deck, even against red-hot forward Bruno Fornaroli and on Tim Cahills first homecoming game with City in Sydney.We have a game plan we believe can cause them problems. Theyll certainly have to worry about us, he said.STATS THAT MATTER* City v Wanderers is usually a high-scoring affair; the fixture averages 3.5 goals and the last two have finished 4-3 and 3-2* Two more goals will surge Bruno Fornaroli into the top 20 all-time A-League scorers* Wanderers gloveman Andrew Redmayne might have conceded the most goals of the season (13) but hes also made 17 saves this campaign, just two behind saves leader Jack Duncan of Newcastle ' ' '
