Last duel bound for Paris.

As the épées clash and foils flick, the Olympic Games in Paris approach, and our European fencers stand ready to step onto the piste in the upcoming pre-Olympic event set to unfold in Luxembourg from the 26th to the 28th of April. The European Games in Krakow 2023 brought us brilliant performances and thrilling duels, even though they did not directly award Olympic spots. A total of 36 medals were distributed, with the Italians, Hungarians, and French claiming the most around their necks.
