International fencing competitions

International fencing competitions are organized events where fencers from different countries compete using three weapon types: foil, épée, and sabre. Matches involve speed, strategy, and skill as fencers aim to score points by making precise touches on their opponent within specific rules for each weapon. These tournaments are governed by the International Fencing Federation (FIE), and participants earn ranking points that determine their international standings. Events include individual and team competitions, culminating in major championships like the World Fencing Championships and the Olympic Games, showcasing the sport’s blend of agility, tactics, and precision on a global stage.
