The women's team foil event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took on 1 August 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.[1] 32 fencers (eight teams of four) from eight nations competed.[2]
Background
The Russian Olympic Committee, the titleholder from 2020, did not compete this time. The United States team, featuring two-time individual foil gold medalist Lee Kiefer and her fellow teammates, triumphed over Italy, the bronze medalist from 2020, marking the first time a non-European team has secured a gold medal in women's team foil.
Qualification
A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a team of three fencers in the women's team épée. These fencers also automatically qualified for the individual event.[2]
Competition format
The tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with classification matches for all places. Each match featured the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with nine three-minute bouts to five points; the winning team was the one that reaches 45 total points first or was leading after the end of the nine bouts.[3]
Schedule
The competition was held over a single day.[4]
