The men's team sabre event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 31 July 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.[1] 24 fencers (eight teams of three) from eight nations competed.[2]

The South Korean team won the gold medal and achieved its third consecutive victory since the 2012 competition. The Hungarian team won the silver medal and the French team won the bronze medal.

Qualification

[edit]

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a team of three fencers in the men's team sabre. These fencers also automatically qualified for the individual event.[2]

The tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with classification matches for all places. Each match featured the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with nine three-minute bouts to five points; the winning team was the one that reaches 45 total points first or was leading after the end of the nine bouts.[3]
