FENCING

There will also be a women's national epee team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The quartet composed of Rossella Fiamingo, Mara Navarria, Alberta Santuccio and Giulia Rizzi (photo Federscherma) beat, in the following order, Japan (38-20), Switzerland (37-32), China (22-21) and Korea (29-28) and won the team event of the World Cup stage hosted by Barcelona.

At this point, qualification for the Olympics is mathematically sealed. This ticket to Paris entitles Italy to participate in the speciality team competition and also to field the maximum number possible, three fencers, in the individual event.
