Edit: After releasing this vid, Szilagyi became World Champion, won Budapest, and ended the season as World No. 1 all in one season. What's left for him to do besides beating Vezzali's Olympic records by either winning another individual Olympic Games or winning another 3 individual Olympic medals?
Met him in an open competition in Thailand back in 2015. Very humble and let many of us go for 5-point bouts with him in the practice area. I got destroyed of course.
Thanks for the video, it is appreciated. Aron is "sabre". For me he is#1 regardless if he is winning at the moment or not. He has everything: very athletic but most guys have that, but he has all the techniques and perfected them. No other fencer has that, closest maybe Aldo? He is also a thinking fencer which is rare. Most have four, five action doing them well, and chose one. So he is the whole package. Genetically gifted and pushed to higher level with a lot of work. Gyuri Bacsi his sabre master not only trained him well but, just as important made him love the sport. When he was young he looked very much like another fencer Peter Abay. Please continue doing more videos. Thank You.
Thank you for the kind words! And I agree. Aron is one of the few fencers who seems to be able to fence out of every situation and position on the piste. Something that comes from a strong coaching foundation then strengthened with the fencer's own understanding of the game, experimentation and experience. Even when he loses touches it looks pretty - like he would make the perfect parry but in the wrong line, or he had the perfect counter parry following up but just too slow. There are just no free wins against him.
Simply the best. The elegance, the imagination but at the same time it's orthodoxy... It's all a thing of beauty. When he's on the zone it looks like he could parry everything. It's good that he's the most decorated sablist so people cannot say, yeah he was amazing but he didn't win.
@@robertocalvo934 Orthodox is relative. Aron might look more orthodox than the Koreans, but I'm betting if you showed his fencing complete with skyhooks and flunges, the people back the 40s would be pretty disgusted with it
@@Dancingtuna precisely. I don't have the historical knowledge to st anything about it, but relatively speaking, there's an air of orthodoxy in everything Aron does. And this is why I find very special about him, his fencing is full of imagination and risk, and yet there is a sort of mathematical, orthodox side to it all.
I put some thoughts in writing the descriptions for once. It's about what I think of Szilagyi as a fencer, feel free to critique it. Please show some love to Sydney Sabre Centre and Cyrus of Chaos. This video literally wouldn't and couldn't be possible without them (links in description) And yes, this is my best compilation so far because it's 4:20 long
@@christianalbertjahns2577 Thank you for the kind words! But that's also why I said 'normal season'. Post-Covid seasons had fewer competitions per season so it's a less fair assessment of how consistent a fencer is over a year of competition if you are comparing to previous seasons
@@Dancingtuna It's more than that. It's the total loss of confidence from (the otherwise talented) Curatoli... and on his level, that was kind of surprising. But when Aron is concentrated, he's on a different level, for sure. That's a good illustration here. :)

If he gets 4 individual golds he will go down as an Olympic legend (since there’s 4-5 people who have won golds in the same individual event 4 times)

Aron posted this on his Facebook page! Thank you so much!
Epic montage. Szilágyi is such an incredible fencer, and is so enjoyable to watch.
Thank you!

thanks for your thoughts, and the actions you picked are clean af....
Thank you
It's an amazing video! Good job! We want more :))))
Thank you!
I have more sabre compilations on my channel, but in terms of Szilagyi content, there's the team highlights of Italy v Hungary

Nice description of him, though I believe after winning Tokyo, Szilagyi is #1
Anyway, you did a terrific job with this video

My man's gets away with putting guilty gear music and yet no one noticed. Actual legend.
Thanks for noticing! But I wasn't aware that using GG music had a chance to turn me into an outcast.
Best compilation of your channel
ok
Best vid u made so far ngl
Of course. The length is 4:20. That in itself qualifies it as my best
1:55 WTF? :)
The camera angle is a bit awkward but it's a counter attack blockout
@@Dancingtuna It's more than that. It's the total loss of confidence from (the otherwise talented) Curatoli... and on his level, that was kind of surprising. But when Aron is concentrated, he's on a different level, for sure. That's a good illustration here. :)
Where did u get the videos from the London 2012 and Rio 2016 bouts?
London is on YT. I got Rio by nicely asking the matriarch of the finest Australian sabre club
@@Dancingtuna london is quite limited on youtube. Can u help me to contact with the aussie community?
@@arcticorca98 Honestly just slide into their FB or Insta and ask nicely. They're nice people
@@Dancingtuna thanks, do u have the name of their FB or insta?
