Fencing World Championships 2018

The 2018 World Fencing Championships were held from July 19 to 27 in Wuxi , China . This was the second time since 2008 that China hosted the World Cup.

Competitions and schedule

The program included competitions in the swords, foils and sabers, divided into individual and teams as well as women and men. Therefore 12 gold and 12 silver medals were awarded. Since the third place in the individual, in contrast to the team competitions, was not fought, there were divided places and thus 18 bronze medals.
