General Interest

General
France is among the most dominant National Olympic Committees in the sport of fencing and the men's foil team has played a large part in establishing that position. Many of the team's medals came before the 1988 Games, with the team having an astonishing record of winning a medal at almost every games between 1920 and 1984, the only blemish a fifth place at the 1960 Games. In that period, they won six gold, four silver and four bronze.

In recent years the French team has fallen back to the pack somewhat, but they still managed gold in 2000. Then, after missing the podium in 2004 and 2012 [the event was not contested in 2008], they returned with a silver in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Since the 2016 Games, France have won two medals at the world championships - bronze in 2017 and silver in 2019 - but have yet to add to their 13 world titles won since 1937, their most recent coming in 2014.

At the continental level, they have been a force in recent years. In six editions of the European championships between 2014 and 2019, they won four titles, including at the most recent edition in 2019.
