The French foil fencers have qualified for the final of the team event of the Fencing World Championships in Milan where they must face Italy, at home, at 5:00 p.m. for the title.
French fencing is therefore assured of a fourth medal after the title of Marie-Florence Candassamy in epee, the bronzes of Romain Cannone in the same weapon and of Enzo Lefort in foil.
The Ysaora Thibus band dismissed (45-42) in the semi-finals the United States led by their Olympic champion Lee Kieffer.
The Olympic vice-champions of Tokyo and bronze medalists last year in Cairo are deprived of the French N.3, Anita Blaze, victim of a concussion during the individual event.
