Fencing at the 1964 Summer Olympics – Men's foil
The event was won by Egon Franke of Poland, the nation's first victory in the men's foil.France returned to the podium after a one-Games absence, with Jean-Claude Magnan taking silver and Daniel Revenu the bronze.The previous two world champions, Ryszard Parulski of Poland and German Sveshnikov, were also competing in Tokyo.The tie-breaker then went back to head-to-head results between the two remaining fencers in the barrage to assign fourth place; Elkalyoubi had defeated McKenzie in their bout (and, incidentally, had defeated him in the main pool as well), so he placed fourth and advanced while McKenzie was eliminated.Tabuchi, who had won the main-pool bout, defeated Sehem again in the barrage to win a qualification spot.Cohen, who had beaten Muresan but lost to Mano in the main pool, won both of his barrage bouts to take third place.Mano defeated Muresan in the other barrage bout to revenge his loss in the main pool and take fourth, qualifying for the third round.
