Abouelkassem who was born in Setif, Algeria to an Algerian mother and an Egyptian father, previously won the first Olympic medal in fencing for a competitor representing an African country in the 2012 summer Olympics in London, after losing the final match and receiving the silver medal.

As we journey through the Olympic fencing disciplines, let’s look deeply at the Men’s Foil event in this blog post. Foil fencing is known for its lightning-fast exchanges and complex right-of-way rules, making it a thrilling spectacle for viewers and a chess match at high speed for the fencers.

The Men’s Foil Individual competition is scheduled for July 29, 2024, and the team competition is scheduled for August 4, 2024, at the Paris Olympic Games. Let’s look at some of the top contenders and rising stars to watch. Each of these fencers has the potential to claim gold or a medal, and the competition promises to be fierce. These Olympic Games will undoubtedly create some history, like Tokyo’s first-ever Hong Kong Gold medal (or any other medal). Several undisputed leaders in foil include 3 Americans (Meinheardt, Massialas, and Itkin), Italian Marini, French Lefort, and reining Olympic Champion Cheung from Hong Kong. B
