The women's team épée event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place the 30st of July at the Grand Palais strip.[1] 24 fencers (eight teams of three) from eight nations are expected to compete.[2]


Background

[edit]

This was the 6th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1996 except 2008 (during the time when team events were rotated off the schedule, with only two of the three weapons for each of the men's and women's categories).

Estonia were defending champions, but they not qualify.

Qualification

[edit]

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a team of three fencers in the women's team épée. These fencers also automatically qualified for the individual event.[2]

Competition format

[edit]

The tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with classification matches for all places. Each match featured the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with nine three-minute bouts to five points; the winning team was the one that reaches 45 total points first or was leading after the end of the nine bouts.[3]

Schedule

[edit]

The competition was held over a single day.[4]

All times are Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)
