Egyptian national saber fencing team Ziad Elsissy won the bronze medal at the ongoing Fencing World Cup in Italy, which is taking place from March 6 to 8.
Ziad reached the semifinals after a hard-fought victory over Italy’s Luca Curatoli, winning 15-13.
However, he was defeated in the semifinals by France’s Jean-Philippe Patrick with a score of 15-12, earning him the bronze medal.
Due to his global ranking, he entered the competition directly from the main round of 64 without competing in the group stage.
It is worth noting that Ziad finished fourth in the saber fencing competition at the previous Olympic Games, held last summer in Paris, France.
