Fencing at the 1908 Summer Olympics
At the 1908 Summer Olympics, four fencing events were contested.
The 1908 Games were the first to lack a foil competition. Foil fencing, "not being in the opinion of the organisers a form of sport which is improved by competition," was held only as a display. The 1908 Olympics did introduce team sabre and épée competitions. As in the 1904 edition, the London Games held no events for masters; all fencing was done by amateurs.
131 fencers from 14 nations competed.
