Women's Sabre

Women's sabre is a competitive fencing discipline where two athletes use lightweight, flexible swords called sabres to score points by striking their opponent above the waist, including the head and arms. The sport emphasizes speed, agility, and precise technique, with rules that allow scoring through quick, cutting, or thrusting motions. Points are awarded only when the valid target area is hit with the edge of the blade while both fencers are engaged within a designated area. Matches are fast-paced and require strategic thinking, blending athletic skill with tactical decision-making.
