Synopsis:
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Russian fencing team emerged as the most successful delegation in the discipline, winning a total of seven medals: four golds, one silver, and two bronzes. After the long wait leading up to the Tokyo Olympics, many countries hoped for a rematch and a possible shift in the rankings. However, on that occasion too, the Russian team confirmed its dominance. A demonstration of consistency and strength that further consolidated their position among the leading fencing nations in the world.
