Women’s Fencing

Women’s fencing is a competitive sport where two athletes, equipped with protective gear and bladed weapons, face off in a structured match. The goal is to score points by landing valid hits on the opponent using foil, épée, or sabre, each with specific rules. Matches are judged by touch, precision, and speed, emphasizing agility, strategy, and timing. The sport combines physical skill with tactical thinking, requiring athletes to anticipate movements and execute techniques efficiently. Women’s fencing is an Olympic sport fostering discipline, agility, and strategic prowess, and it has a rich history of promoting gender equality in competition.
