Medalists

Quarterfinals

The quarterfinals were again round-robin affairs. The original plan was that of the 6 pools, 2 would have five fencers each and 4 would have six. The top three in each pool were to advance. Three quarterfinalists dropped out, so the quarterfinals were reorganized. There were 5 pools with 6 fencers each; the sixth pool included Holzchuch and four fencers who had lost in other quarterfinals and got a second chance to advance.

Final

In the final, each fencer had either 5 or 6 bouts. Fonst and Perrée initially tied for first with 4 wins each, then Fonst won the barrage to break the tie.
