A tense, compelling battle of wits and technique, the sport is one of the few to have featured at every modern Olympic Games.
Competition dates:
Saturday 28 July – Sunday 5 August
Three types of weapon are used in Olympic Fencing. In bouts using the Foil and the slightly heavier Epée, hits are scored by hitting an opponent with the tip of the weapon. In Sabre, hits are more commonly scored with the edge of the weapon.
Epée allows both fencers to score at the same time, while Foil and Sabre have rules of right of way and timing that mean only one fencer can score a hit at a time.
Individual Fencing bouts last for three periods of three minutes each, or until one fencer has scored 15 hits against his/her opponent. In the Team events, teams of three fencers compete against their opponents over a series of nine three-minute bouts, with the aim of accumulating a maximum of 45 hits to win the match.
Hits are recorded electronically using wireless technology.
After an careful selection process, 16 Fencers have been chosen to take part in the Olympic Pathway Programme.
With funding from UK Sport, they will benefit from full-time training at state-of-the-art facilities, access to world-class coaches and sports scientists helping them as they they prepare to be in top physical and mental condition for competition in 2012.
British Fencing Performance Director, Graham Watts, said: "This new Olympic Pathway Programme has enabled us to identify our very best prospects for London 2012 and give them the level of support never previously possible for British fencers.
"I am convinced that as a direct result of this Pathway Programme, we will achieve our target of seeing the Union Jack raised over the fencing podium at London in 2012."
