Final thriller against Hungary: Swiss sword fencers just miss EM gold

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

Max Heinzer (l.) succeeds in catching up, which is ultimately not rewarded with gold.

The Swiss quartet with Alexis Bayard, Theo Brochard, Hadrien Favre and team leader Max Heinzer had beaten Austria 45:38 at the start, then Poland 28:23 in the quarterfinals and world champions France 45:43 in the semifinals.

In the duel for gold, the Swiss fell behind early on before Heinzer was able to equalize again to 25:25 in the final fight. Thanks to three victories in a row, the Hungarians eventually maintained the upper hand.

The last time the Swiss stood on stage in front of his own audience in Montreux eight years ago was third place. Swiss Fencing’s representatives have topped European championships four times. (SDA)
