Fencing: Enzo Lefort wins silver at the Washington Grand Prix

French foil fencer Enzo Lefort scored his second podium of the season by finishing second in the Washington Grand Prix on Sunday, just over four months before the Paris Games.

In the final, the 32-year-old French veteran was unable to do anything against the American Nick Itkin, vice-world champion in Milan last year, and lost 15-12 after beating the American Andrew Chen in the quarter (15-10) then the Japanese Kyosuke Matsuyama in the semi-final (15-8).

The double world champion (2019, 2022), despite everything, confirmed his return to form after injuring his left knee at the World Cup in Paris in January, and recorded the second podium of his season after winning bronze in the Turin Grand Prix in February.

On the French side, in the absence of their leader Ysaora Thibus, temporarily suspended for a positive doping test for ostarine, only Eva Lacheray managed to reach the quarters, where she lost 15-12 against the American Lee Kiefer, current world No.1 and who crushed the competition in the last four to capture the title.
