Women’s Sabre came out literally on motorbikes in Orléans – led by a win from Russia with the return of the defending individual and team Olympic Champion. We also had a bronze medal match that was a (provisional) qualification decider! A few upsets show that there is life in this qualification race to come. Interestingly in the individual race our World Championship bronze medallists keep up good form, at the expense of one country in particular, and it looks like we have an Olympic debut on the cards from an Indian fencer.
