Romania's men's sabre team won the silver medal at the Senior World Cup in sabre on Sunday, after losing the final to South Korea by a score of 45-44. The Tricolours put in a solid performance throughout the competition and came close to an important victory.

Romania, represented by Vlad Covaliu, George Dragomir, Radu Nițu and Răzvan Ursachi, led the final for more than half of the match.
