France and Italy shine in team events at Fencing World Championships
Women's Épée Glory for France
The third medal day of the World Fencing Championships brought another wave of emotion and triumph for European fencing — this time led by the French women’s épée team. In a compelling display of depth and unity, Marie-Florence Candassamy, Alexandra Louis Marie, Lauren Rembi, and Éloïse Vanryssel secured gold after a confident and commanding performance across the tableau.
Facing a strong and determined team competing under the AIN flag in the final, the French fencers maintained composure under pressure and showed the kind of strategic maturity and collective experience that has long made France a powerhouse in women’s épée.
This victory holds special significance, continuing a proud tradition and reaffirming France’s status as a benchmark in the discipline.
Men’s Foil: Italy on Top Again
The Italian men’s foil squad added another golden chapter to their already glittering legacy. Guillaume Bianchi, Alessio Foconi, Filippo Macchi, and Tommaso Marini overcame a formidable challenge from the United States in a high-quality final that showcased the very best of modern foil.
Italy’s run to the title was marked by precision, resilience, and unmistakable flair. Whether through Macchi’s rising presence, Foconi’s experience, or Marini’s sharp tactical execution, the Italians once again proved that teamwork, backed by individual brilliance, remains their greatest strength.
Hungary completed the podium with a bronze medal, a strong reward for a team that has shown consistent growth and fighting spirit throughout the competition.
Looking Ahead
With several more medals to be assigned, the European fencing community celebrates these team victories as milestones of excellence and inspiration. From épée to foil, the continent continues to shape the narrative of world fencing.
Let’s keep supporting our athletes — the next champions may be among them.
