The French foil fencers fell in the quarter-finals of the World Championships in Milan on Sunday. Enzo Lefort and the Blues, Olympic vice-champions in Tokyo, lost 45-38 against China, the twelfth nation in the world.
The last chance for a tricolor medal lies with the sabers who must play their semi-final against Ukraine at midday.
For these last Worlds before the Paris-2024 Olympics, French fencing will leave Lombardy with at best six podiums, less than a year ago at the Worlds in Cairo.
