Individual - Masters

Masters, Individual is a special Olympic fencing event format used for competitions reserved for fencing masters or professional instructors rather than the standard amateur field. In the 1896 programme, it was contested as an individual foil event and reflected the popularity and prestige of fencing masters in late nineteenth-century Europe. The format was distinct from the regular foil competition because eligibility was limited to professional fencing teachers.
