Park Sang-young (born 16 October 1995) is a South Korean épée fencer, team silver medallist at the 2014 World Fencing Championships.
He was junior world champion in Moscow in 2012.[1] He joined the senior category in the 2013–14 season, during which he won the 2014 Doha Grand Prix and the 2014 Berne Grand Prix.[2] As part of the South Korean team he won a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Fencing Championships in Suwon and at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon,[3] as well as a silver medal at the 2014 World Fencing Championships.[4] He finished the season world no.3.
The 2014–15 season proved more difficult for Park. After two quarter-final finishes, he sustained a knee injury in March at the Budapest Grand Prix, which barred him from taking part to the Asian Championships and to the World Championships.
