Germany beat United States to win bronze in men's team foil

Germany produced a commanding display to win fencing bronze in the men's team foil competition.

A final score of 45-27 was a fair reflection of Germany's dominance in the nine-round match.

The German trio of Peter Joppich, Sebastian Bachmann and Benjamin Kleibrink were consistent throughout and deserved to win the tie.

America will be disappointed with their performance, particularly Gerek Meinhardt, who lost 6-0 to Kleibrink in the third individual duel of the contest.
