He was the strongest. Reigning world champion, the foil fencer Enzo Lefort retained his crown this Wednesday in Cairo (Egypt) by dominating the Italian Tommaso Marini (15-14) in the final. Well ahead (10-4), the 10th world shooter played to scare himself, conceding six consecutive hits (10-10). But as he did throughout the day, the Guadeloupean, 30, found the resources to conclude at the end of the suspense.
Withdrawn from the European Championships in Antalya (Turkey) last month due to a torn left calf, Lefort signs an incredible winning comeback and offers the French team a fourth medal, the third in gold, since the start of the competition.
