The fencing competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro took place from 6 to 14 August at the Carioca Arena 3 inside the Barra Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca. Around 212 fencers (an equal distribution between men and women; and eight came from the host nation Brazil) competed in 10 events (six individual and four team).[1]
Similar to 2008 and 2012, the International Fencing Federation maintained the format of ten events and the rotation system, as the men's team sabre and the women's team foil have been dropped from the program only at these Games.[2][3]
