Foil, Individual, Women

Date	23 – 24 July 1976
Status	Olympic
Location	Stade d'Hiver de l'Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec
Participants	48 from 20 countries

Ecaterina Stahl of Romania had been crowned World Champion in 1975 but the balance of power in women’s foil was still held by the USSR and Hungary who had shared every other World Championship medal since the last Olympics. After an excellent showing in the preliminary stages Stahl lost two matches in the elimination rounds and was dumped out of the tournament.

The women to make the most of Stahl’s exit were Ildikó Schwarczenberger-Tordasi, a former World Champion, and a surprise packet in the shape of Italy’s Maria Consolata Collino.

The two fencers tied with four wins out of five in the final pool then fought a desperately close tie-breaker which resulted in Schwarczenberger-Tordasi winning gold for Hungary on a sudden death hit. Yelena Novikova-Belova of the USSR added a bronze medal to her gold medal from 1968.
