The Fencing program ended today with the Men’s Foil Team medals. Let’s take a look at who our teams picked:

Selections Athlete Country
41 Lee Kiefer United States
29 Aron Szilagyi Hungary
27 Tommaso Marini Italy
25 Arianna Errigo Italy
22 Romain Cannone France
19 Marie-Florence Candassamy France
18 Nick Itkin United States
15 Sara Balzer France
15 Alice Volpi Italy
12 Gergely Siklosi Hungary

The pool of medals is pretty limited for individual Fencers, but our teams correctly picked Lee Kiefer who won Gold in both Women’s Individual Foil and in the Women’s Foil Team competition. The only other Fencer with multiple Gold medals was Oh Sang-uk from South Korea – he was picked by two teams.

Other top scorers include:

Athlete Country Points
Lee Kiefer United States 10
Oh Sang-uk South Korea 10
Koki Kano Japan 8
Lauren Scruggs United States 8
Olga Kharlan Ukraine 6
Auriane Mallo-Breton France 6
Filippo Macchi Italy 6

Kiefer was the only name who appeared on both lists – was this an especially unpredictable year for the Fencing competition?
