Posted : 09 December 2024

At the 2024 Orléans “Trophée Nuoma” Sabre Grand Prix, Hayoung Jeon from Korea and Jean-Philippe Patrice from France claimed the gold medals in the women’s and men’s individual sabre events. The competition saw 176 women and 225 men compete in the preliminary rounds at the Palais des Sports, with the semifinals and finals taking place at the Orléans “Zénith” venue.

 

Jeon triumphed in the women’s final against Greece’s Theodora Gkountoura, winning 15-7. Earlier in the tournament, Gkountoura secured a 15-13 victory over her teammate Despina Georgiadou in the semifinals, while Jeon defeated Bulgaria’s Yoana Ilieva by the same score.

 

Notable upsets in the earlier rounds included Ilieva’s narrow 15-14 win over France’s Olympic champion Manon Apithy in the quarterfinals, as well as Italy’s Mariella Viale’s 15-14 victory over Japan’s world champion Misaki Emura in the round of 32. Poland’s Julia Cieslar also delivered a surprising 15-14 win against Ukraine’s four-time world champion Olga Kharlan.

 

In the men’s event, Patrice won a dramatic final against the USA’s Colin Heathcock, clinching the gold with a 15-14 victory. Heathcock had advanced to the final by beating Tunisia’s Fares Ferjani 15-11 in the semifinals, while Patrice edged out his French teammate Sebastien Patrice 15-12 in their semifinal matchup.

 

The final rankings in women’s individual sabre saw Jeon take gold, followed by Gkountoura with silver and Ilieva and Georgiadou sharing the bronze. In the men’s individual sabre, Patrice secured gold, Heathcock took silver, and Ferjani and Sebastien Patrice earned bronze. Other top finishers included Italy’s Luca Curatoli, France’s Maxime Pianfetti, Japan’s Kaito Streets, and Egypt’s Ahmed Hesham.
