The men's foil event at the 2024 Summer Olympics will take place on 29 July 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.
This will be the 29th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since being introduced in 1896, with the exception of 1908.
The 1996 tournament had vastly simplified the competition format into a single-elimination bracket, with a bronze medal match. The 2024 tournament continued to use that format. Fencing is done to 15 touches or to the completion of three three-minute rounds if neither fencer reaches 15 touches by then. At the end of time, the higher-scoring fencer is the winner; a tie results in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period is further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scores a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner wins the bout. Standard foil rules regarding target area, striking, and priority are used.
The competition will be held over a single day, Monday, 29 July. Men's foil bouts alternate with the women's sabre event bouts. [1]
All times use Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) [2]
