In the men’s category B foil event Great Britain’s rising talent Dimitri Coutya came close to preventing China’s world number one Daoliang Hu from defending his World Championship crown, but the latter eventually emerged with a 15-12 win against the 17-year-old.

The bronze-medal positions were shared by Italy’s Marco Cima and Russia’s Albert Kamalov.

Eighteen year-old Beatrice Vio won the women's category B epee, with the Italian denying Hungary's Gyongi Dani with a 15-4 win.
