The French sabers, deprived of their world number one Sara Balzer, injured, won a third consecutive title of European fencing champions in Basel this Saturday June 22, five weeks before the Paris Olympic Games. They were imitated by the French swordsmen an hour later, although deprived of their leader Yannick Borel, who came to reconnect with the title of European champions for the first time since 2016 when they won the Olympic gold medal in the stride. The bands of Manon Apithy-Brunet and Romain Cannone thus bring a third and fourth gold medal to French fencing, which climbed on all the team podiums before the last day of competition this Sunday.
