Fencing at the 2016 Summer Olympics
The fencing competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro are scheduled to take place from 6 to 14 August at the Carioca Arena (Hall 3) inside the Olympic Training Center in Barra da Tijuca. Around 212 fencers (an equal distribution between men and women; and eight coming from the host nation Brazil) are expected to compete in 10 events (six individual and four team).[1]
Similar to 2008 and 2012 format, the International Fencing Federation maintains the current format of ten events and the rotation system, as the men's team sabre and the women's team foil have been dropped from the program only at these Games.[2][3]
Qualification
Qualification was primarily based on the FIE official rankings as of April 4, 2016, with further individual places available at four zonal qualifying tournaments.[4]
