Just as they did at Beijing 2008, Italy took home most medals from the Olympic Fencing and despite being one of only five sports to feature in every Games since 1896 the sport is developing.
Italy's version of the 'Dream Team' did what was expected at the ExCeL Fencing arena tonight, adding Team Foil gold to the three Individual medals they won on Saturday.
Venezuela has only its second Olympic champion ever after Ruben Limardo Gascon won the men's Individual Epee, while Kim Jiyeon also took Fencing gold for Republic of Korea.
Italian world champion Paolo Pizzo made progress into the last 16 of the men's Epee at the ExCeL, but only just as he saw off the battling challenge of Hong Kong's Leung Ka Ming.
