The women's foil was one of eight fencing events on the fencing at the 1960 Summer Olympics programme. It was the eighth appearance of the event. The competition was held from 31 August – 1 September 1960. 56 fencers from 24 nations competed.[1]

Competition format

[edit]

The competition used a pool play format, with each fencer facing the other fencers in the pool in a round robin. Bouts were to 4 touches. Barrages were used to break ties necessary for advancement. However, only as much fencing was done as was necessary to determine advancement, so some bouts never occurred if the fencers advancing from the pool could be determined. The competition involved 4 rounds:[2]

  • Round 1: 9 pools, 6 or 7 fencers to a pool, top 3 advance (total 27 advancing)
  • Quarterfinals: 4 pools, 6 or 7 fencers to a pool, top 3 advance (total 12 advancing)
  • Semifinals: 2 pools, 6 fencers to a pool, top 4 advance (total 8 advancing)
  • Final: 1 pool, 8 fencers
