The Men's Sabre Team event is back in the Olympic programme for the first time since London 2012. The reigning Olympic champions, Republic of Korea, will be the favourites going into the competition, having won the last three World Championships in the event. But Hungary and Italy are also strong nations and each team will be looking to continue that success.
