RIO DE JANEIRO -- The future of mens fencing might well be Sangyoung Park.The 20-year-old South Korean sure looked like the sports next big star on Tuesday, dispatching more experienced and accomplished fencers on his way to a gold medal. Park stormed back to score the final five points and win mens epee in a matchup of the youngest and oldest competitors in the field.Park missed much of 2015 with a serious knee injury that helped push his world ranking down to 21st. But he beat 41-year-old Geza Imre of Hungary Imre 15-14 after perhaps the best rally of this tournament.It was very hard for me to come back from my injury. I kept thinking about the Olympics and taking part in it. Thats what got me back on track, Park said.Despite the loss, Imre is fencings oldest Olympic individual medalist since 1952 when another Hungarian, Aladar Gurevich, won the silver in mens sabre at 42.Its big, said Imre, who won bronze at the Atlanta Games 20 years ago. But silver is the first loser.Top-ranked Gauthier Grumier won the bronze after not letting anyone get within six points of him before the semifinals. But Imre, who also beat Grumier in the 2015 world championships, pulled ahead by three points and countered Grumiers attack with simultaneous touches to clinch the match.Park dominated Switzerlands Benjamin Steffen 15-9 to make it to the finals.No. 2 Enrico Garozzo of Italy was hoping to join his brother Daniele, who upset top-ranked American Alexander Massialas on Sunday, as an Olympic champion in Rio. But Park beat Enrico as well in the round of 16.American Jason Pryors tournament ended after just one match. He fell to Steffen 15-14.That was the most difficult bout Ive ever fenced in my life. Theres enough adrenaline to kill an elephant, Pryor said. You try to be disciplined but your body is trying to jump on the touches like a broken jack in the box.Abdulaziz Alshatti, the lone independent fencer in the Rio Olympics, was also knocked out after his first match.Alshatti is from Kuwait, whose Olympic committee was suspended by the IOC in 2015 for undue government interference. Because of that the ban, Alshattis had to qualify for Rio by winning a last-chance Asian qualifying event in April.Alshatti had the backing of a small crowd that appeared to sympathize with his plight. But Hungarys Andras Redli survived a furious late rally from the hard-charging and flamboyant Kuwaiti, winning 14-13 in epee.Brazilian people are so cooperative, and I would like to thank them for everything they did, Alshatti said. They were so great today with me and Im so happy that I fought. J.R. Sweezy Jersey . JOHNS, N.

OXON HILL, Md. -- If Bryce Harpers representatives have had real discussions about a long-term contract with the Washington Nationals, general manager Mike Rizzo is not tipping his hand.Meeting with reporters Monday at baseballs winter meetings, Rizzo deflected a question about whether hes engaged Harper or agent Scott Boras about an extension for the slugger who was the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year and 2015 NL MVP.Its not like us to discuss anything that we (say) when were talking to players about anything, so Im not going to answer any of those kind of questions, Rizzo said. Those are private discussions between us and the players.Harper -- who is coming off a down year, hitting .243 with 24 homers and 86 RBI for the NL East champions -- is under Washingtons control for two more seasons.He can become a free agent for the first time after the 2018 season.With every player that you acquire, its a possibility that you may lose them in their specific time frame. With Bryce Harper and every other player that has a contract expiring, you better make plans, Rizzo said, when asked about preparing for the chance that Harper could leave in 2018. And its not just Bryce Harper; its everybody on the roster.Rizzo said he speaks weekly with Boras -- and other agents. That the GM would be in regular contact with Boras is hardly surprising, given that he represents several Nationals in addition to Harper, including pitchers Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasbuurg and third baseman Anthony Rendon.ddddddddddddere constantly talking to him throughout the year, throughout the winter, during the season, Rizzo said. Theyre not specific negotiations, but theyre discussions about strategies and philosophies and all those things that come into it.Among other topics touched on by Rizzo:- Things just didnt work out with closer Mark Melancon, who was acquired by Washington at the trade deadline last season and agreed to a free-agent deal with the San Francisco Giants. Rizzo said the Nationals offered market value, but the Giants offered him more.- With Melancons departure, Rizzo acknowledged the obvious, saying: The bullpen is something were going to have to address.- On the possibility of trading for White Sox starter Chris Sale or Pittsburgh outfielder Andrew McCutchen, Rizzo said: Weve had ongoing discussions with a lot of different teams. The White Sox and the Pirates have been two of them. But weve got a lot of lines in the water. Weve got a lot of irons in the fire. ... Were going to be aggressive if the occasion ari
