Olympics 2024 News: USA Women’s Fencing Epee Team Joins Men’s Foil Squad as They Clinch Their Ticket to Paris

Like every athlete and sport in the country, fencing stars are gearing up hard to ensure Olympic glory doesn’t elude the nation. While the men’s foil team has already confirmed their berth to the European capital for later this year, the women’s epee squad has now secured their right to represent the country on the grand stage. Naturally, celebrations are underway as the dream looks within grasping length for the sword-yielding athletes of Team USA.

The nation’s second fencing team to join their male counterpart’s accomplishment has been hailed on social media and the heaviest sword-using fencing stars are looking to make the most of the opportunities present at hand.

Olympics glory beckons the national Epee team

In a recent post on Instagram, the official USA Fencing account shared the triumphant news and the jubilation cannot go undetected. “Olympic qualification?” reads the post, before further explaining the reason for taking to social media to announce the milestone achieved by the female fencers of Team USA. “Team USA Women’s Epee has locked in their spot for the 2024 Games!” elaborates the post next, while the accompanying image shows a rowdy bunch of the Epee team members who reflect the feelings of millions of fencing fans across the country.

With the Lima World Cup ongoing, the competition for the Olympic Games is becoming more intense, and fencers, like other athletes, know what’s at stake. Understandably, the importance of having an experienced coach who properly comprehends the depth of the situation is as important as having skilled athletes in the team. The post also congratulates the Epee team’s coach who will be leading them on the big stage.

“@natalie_dostert and everyone involved in the team’s success!“, writes the Instagram post. While the road to Paris hasn’t been an easy one for the female Epee squad, it has certainly been worth it. With the Men’s Foil team already securing its spot, winning every possible international challenge ahead of the Olympics has been on the to-do list for all female fencers vying for their spot in the national team.

The road to Paris has been an arduous one

Multiple moments highlighted the Epee team’s desire to join their male comrades on the Olympic stage as the athletes geared up for the showdown in the French capital. A gold medal-winning performance at the Americas Zonal Championships in June last year, and a more consistent performance during the qualifying period also helped the women’s Epee team to finally be able to stand on the brink of history.
