New Yorker Keeth Smart leads men's saber team to silver
Tim Morehouse, Keeth Smart, James Williams and Jason Rogers did New York proud last night/early this morning, earning only the 2nd sabre medal by a US team in Olympic history.
The US team defeated the defending world champions and second seed in the tournament, Hungary, 45-44. Up next was the semi final match with Russia, which proved to be one of the most incredible sporting events this blogger has ever witnessed.
The New York based team went up quick against the Russians, but Russia was able to bounce back and take the lead. In the final bout, Olympic veteran Smart put the match away winning on the final touch of the match.
The United States fell to France in the gold medal match, but what an incredible run and an amazing finish for an incredibly talented and wonderful group of individuals.
Check out photos of their victory run.
