South Korean Park Sangyoung stormed back to score the final five points and take gold in men's epee on Tuesday in a match-up of the youngest and oldest fencers in the field.
Park, just 20, beat 41-year-old Geza Imre of Hungary 15-14.
Despite the loss, Imre is fencing's oldest Olympic individual medalist since 1952 when another Hungarian, Aladar Gurevich won the silver in men's sabre at 42.
Top-ranked Gauthier Grumier won the bronze.
