Gruchala of Poland takes Women’s Foil Gold

Sylwia Gruchala - Women's Foil - Poland

In women’s foil competition, Polish sensation Sylwia Gruchala first defeated defending World Cup champion Valentina Vezzali of Italy and then French fencer Adeline Wuilleme to win her second World Cup gold in a row. The final score of the gold medal match was 15-11.

Despite the 15-4 score, Vezzali, the world and Olympic champion, refused to give Gruchala any credit for the victory.

Vezzali delayed the bout a few times to change swords, and her gamesmanship continued afterward. “I didn’t fence like I fence,” she said.

The top US finish was Hannah Thompson at 37th.
