An era-defining winning streak in Olympic fencing was snapped as Hungarian fencer Aron Szilagyi lost his opening bout while chasing a fourth consecutive gold medal.
Check out the stats behind the United States' most prolific medal winners in the history of the Summer Olympics.
Szilagyi won Olympic gold in men's individual saber in 2012, 2016 and 2021 -- the only male fencer to be a three-time individual champion. In Paris, he was trying to become the only fencer in Olympic history with four individual gold medals. "I'm in a bit of shock right now, so I'm not even disappointed or angry at myself yet. It happened so fast, and I've never thought that my individual competition here in Paris would be so short," Szilagyi said."It's really a shock. It's like my opponent read me. I was an open book to him," he added."In every touch, what he wanted, it happened. All his parries worked, all his attacks landed.
