Fencing is one of the oldest Olympic events as it has been contested at every edition of the Summer Games since the birth of the modern multi-sport competition in 1896. The discipline includes three weapons: foil, epee and sabre.
A total of 12 fencing events will be featured at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics from July 27 to August 4.
In the latest episode of CGTN's special program "Meet in Paris," Sports Scene's Mike Fox suits up in the show's virtual studio, and experiences what it's like to compete as a fencer.
