In 2013 a number of rules were updated/created/amended at the FIE Congress.
Refer to the FIE rules below for the exact text of the rule or rule change.
* In foil, beats on the lower third of the blade will now be considered parries by the opponent – t.56.4.
* The absence of blade contact will no longer be a criterion for non-combativity – t.87.4.2.
* There will be no penalty for simple corps a corps for foil and sabre, but the referee still calls “Halt!” – t.20.2 / t.20.3.
* Visor masks will be forbidden in all weapons – Material Rules Annex A.2.1.2.
* Insulting a referee will be an immediate Group 4 offence (Black card) – t.82.3(b).
* Violently or dangerously throwing one’s mask is a Group 4 offence (Black Card) – t.87.3(b)
* Fencers passing each other on the strip must do so completely before the referee calls “Halt!” – t.21.3
* Foil and sabre fencers must have a spare mask wire at the side of the strip – t.45.
* Foils and epees must be made of maraging steel – this is generally the case at the moment.
Full rule information can be found on the Documents and Policies web page on the AFF webpage.

After the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics the Games move on to Brazil 2016.
Australia finished 10th on the Medal Placings (our Lowest placing in 20 years at ’92 Olympics), not surprising considering the population and the funding compared to other more supported countries.
Hopefully the younger generation watching these Fantastically run Olympics will be inspired and join their local sporting organisations!
Bring on Brazil !!

Day 9: Last day of Olympic Fencing culminates in the Mens Foil Teams: Italy ranked 1st in almost a huge upset the Italians finally beat the British Team (45:40). Japan beat China (45:30) containing the Olympic Champion Sheng Lei. U.S.A beat France who leave London without an Olympic Medal, and in the last Quater Final Germany v Russia fought out a long match, in a huge comeback of (11 points to 6) by 2008 Olympic Champion Benjamin Kleibrink in the second last match and Peter Joppich scored 11:4 to win the match 44:40.
In Semi Finals, Italy cruise into final match over the U.S.A, Germany almost with a second stunning comeback win, but Japan (first medal of the games) held on to win on priority 41:40.
Italy took the Gold beating Japan, Germany beat the U.S.A to claim Bronze.
13 Different Countries have won medals, Italy 3 Gold, and Korea 1 behind on medals and Gold, with China also 2 Gold.
Day 8: Womens Team Épée: in one of the most unpredictable events of the games, the quarter finals appeared that any team could go on to win. With Both China and Korea having a celebrated Games it was these two countries that eventually met in the final with China winning their second gold of the games. The U.S.A beat Russia by 1 hit to take Bronze (their first medal of the Games).
Day 7: Mens Team Sabre: Korea stepped up again, and up to 2nd on the medal table winning Gold in the Men’s Sabre beating Romania (first silver for London) in the final. Italy took their second bronze of the Olympics beating Russia in the bronze medal match. The event matched similar to the individual results with Korea taking Hungary’s place for the gold.
Day 6: Womens Foil Teams: Italy’s dominant Foil team won their second gold of the games beating Russia in the final. Korea beat France (unusually their first semi final of the games) to take the Bronze.

The FIE has announced a change of regulation to the ruling
t.28.1 If a competitor crosses one the lateral boundaries of the piste, they must step back one metre from the point where they left the piste; and if they go off the piste during an attack they must return to the position they occupied when they started their attack and then step back a further metre
[but cf t.29 still remains] A competitor who involuntarily crosses one of the boundaries of the strip as the result of any accidental cause (such as jostling) incurs no penalty whatever.
