The men'sfoil event at the2024 Summer Olympics took place on 29 July 2024 at theGrand Palais strip.
Cheung Ka Long defended his 2020 title, becoming a two-time Olympic Champion.
This was the 29th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since being introduced in 1896, with the exception of 1908.Cheung Ka Long was the defending champion, and he has successfully defended his title, becoming the third male foil fencer to achieve this feat after the1912 and1920 championNedo Nadi and the1952 and1956 championChristian d'Oriola.
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 was 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 was the winner; a tie resulted in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period was further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scored a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner won the bout. Standardfoil rules regarding target area, striking, and priority were used.
The competition was held over a single day, Monday, 29 July. Men's foil bouts alternate with thewomen's sabre event bouts.[1]
