Fencing

Venezuela sent a seven-person fencing team to Beijing, but they combined to win just two matches. Considering the team included the #1 ranked men's epee fencer, Silvio Fernandez, this was somewhat of a disappointment. Fernandez won his opening match, but then lost to a Hungarian opponent in the second round. The other win came from the men's epee team, who lost their quarterfinal, but won a placement match against Korea before ending up in 6th place overall.
