Japan won the bronze medal in the women’s foil team fencing. This is the first time in history that a women’s fencing event has won a medal at the Olympics. Team fencing is a round-robin event with three people, and the total points are determined by the number of matches played. Japan lost to Italy, ranked number one in the world, in the semi-finals, and will now face Canada in the third-place deciding match for the bronze medal. The fifth period saw Japan leading by one point. Yuka Ueno (22) won by four points to extend the lead to five points. In the final ninth period, Canada closed the gap to one point behind, but Japan managed to hold on to the lead, winning 33-32 and winning the bronze medal. This is the first time that a Japanese women’s fencing team has won a medal at the Olympics, both individually and as a team. *There is no narration in this video. Please be aware of this.
