Áron Szilágyi won a gold medal in the men's sword individual competition of the World Fencing Championship in Cairo.

In the final, Szilágyi's opponent was Maxime Pianfetti, who fought in good form all day, and won 6-3 at the beginning. However, the Hungarian swordsman scored five points in a row, then there was a break, and after the break, two more Szilágyi hits.

However, the French fencer did not give up, fought tenaciously to catch up, equalized from 12-14, but Szilágyi took the last hit - amid great excitement - which was awarded to him after videotaping.

With this, in addition to the three Olympic (London, Rio, Tokyo) and one European gold (2015, Montreux), he has now added a World Cup triumph as an individual.
