Men's Épée

Men's Épée is a fencing discipline where two competitors use a tiered metal sword called an épée, which is the heaviest of the three fencing weapons. The goal is to score points by making contact with the opponent's body, which is the entire torso, including the back and sides. Unlike foil and sabre, there are no rules about right-of-way, so both fencers can score simultaneously. The match is scored electronically, with touches registering on an electronic target. It emphasizes precision, timing, and strategy, making it a skillful and tactical sport.
