Fencing at the 1932 Summer Olympics – Men's team foil
December 15, 2023
The men's team foil was one of seven fencing events on the fencing at the 1932 Summer Olympics programme. It was the fifth appearance of the event. The competition was held from 31 July 1932 to 1 August 1932. 30 fencers from 6 nations competed.[1] Each team could have a maximum of six fencers, with four participating in any given match.[2] Belgium and Cuba entered, but withdrew before competition.[3]
The competition format continued the pool play round-robin from prior years.[4] Each of the four fencers from one team would face each of the four from the other, for a total of 16 bouts per match. The team that won more bouts won the match. Pool matches unnecessary to the result were not played (both pools resulted in one team losing both of the first two matches, so the matches between the winners were not necessary and were not played).
The United States, which had defeated France 8–8 (54–60) in the final round, lost to France 11–5 in the barrage. The other results (Italy defeating the United States, France defeating Italy) were repeated. The Italy-France matches in both the final and barrage were 8–8 and decided on touches.[6]
