The French swordsmen were outclassed by Italy (45-31) in the team final of the World Championships in Milan on Saturday and therefore do not achieve the treble after their titles of 2019 and 2022.
Their silver medal nevertheless allows a fifth podium for French fencing in these Worlds, the last before the Paris 2024 Olympics. It is added to the other silver medal of the Bleues in foil, earlier in the day , as well as the coronation of Marie-Florence Candassamy in epee, the bronzes of Romain Cannone, also in epee, and Enzo Lefort in foil during the week.
Hugues Obry’s men missed their game, unable to come back after a stint lost by Romain Cannone 6-2, which left them at 15-11.
