In women's foil competition, Polish sensation Sylwia Gruchala first defeated defending World Cup champion Valentina Vezzali of Italy and then French fencer Adeline Wuilleme to win her second World Cup gold in a row. The final score of the gold medal match was 15-11.
Despite the 15-4 score, Vezzali, the world and Olympic champion, refused to give Gruchala any credit for the victory.
Vezzali delayed the bout a few times to change swords, and her gamesmanship continued afterward. "I didn't fence like I fence," she said.
The top US finish was Hannah Thompson at 37th.
