Has he ever been World Champion? No.
Has he ever won Budapest? Don't think so.
Has he ever ranked World Number 1 at the end of a normal competition season? Nope.
Is he one of the best fencers of this generation? Without a doubt, yes.
This is a video on Szilágyi Áron of Hungary. Three Time Olympic Mens Individual Sabre Champion. Always a joy to watch. And a true fencer.
Szilagyi is like a yardstick for a fencer. Whenever someone says that a fencer is really good, I always think, 'yah but has he beaten Szilagyi?'.
Szilagyi truly understands the game, and his dedication to maintain his physicality accordingly results in a fencer that you cannot beat with brute strength or luck, and if you managed to do so once, you probably won't be able to the next time you meet him. There are no free wins when it comes to fencing Szilagyi.
As far as I am aware, besides (post 2015 Montreux) Hartung (winning 4 of 5 match-ups), there are no good match-ups against Szilagyi (the next closest would be Oh with a 60-40 win rate) and even then these matches are often close.
Finally, Szilagyi genuinely looks like he enjoys fencing. True, he complains a lot during his bouts, but I don't think he's ever looked like he was truly miserable when fencing. Watching 2012-2015 Szilagyi was a true joy. It was like he didn't care about the results and built his fencing on actions both he and the audience enjoyed. True, this way of fencing didn't always guarantee the gold (New York 2013 Final being the most memorable example), but I think this way of fencing was good for the game in general, and now that Szilagyi has won his third Olympic Gold and therefore has nothing to prove, I hope he goes back to fencing for enjoyment like he did back then.

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?

@onetruehitman7623 Год назад

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)

@ampere7556 Год назад

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.

Epic montage. Szilágyi is such an incredible fencer, and is so enjoyable to watch.

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.

@Dancingtuna 2 года назад

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.

@robertocalvo934 2 года назад

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.

@Dancingtuna 2 года назад

@@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

@robertocalvo934 2 года назад

@@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.

@Dancingtuna 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

Nice description of him, though I believe after winning Tokyo, Szilagyi is #1

@christianalbertjahns2577 2 года назад

Anyway, you did a terrific job with this video

@Dancingtuna 2 года назад

@@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

@archardor3392 2 года назад

It's an amazing video! Good job! We want more :))))

@Dancingtuna 2 года назад

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

@AvgSabreGuy 2 года назад

@mitcsenkov 2 года назад

1:55 WTF? :)

@Dancingtuna 2 года назад

The camera angle is a bit awkward but it's a counter attack blockout

@mitcsenkov 2 года назад

@@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. :)
