Fencing at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's team foil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The men's team foil was a fencing event held as part of the Fencing at the 1904 Summer Olympics programme. It was the first time a team fencing event was held at the Olympics. 2 teams of 3 fencers each competed. The nationality of the teams is unclear—the International Olympic Committee's medal database lists the winning team as Cuban and American, though each of the three members is listed as Cuban in their individual results. The losing team is listed as American, though one of the members is labelled Cuban for his individual wins.
