Lari takes foil title

Ed Jefferies was stopped at the last by Tommaso Lari as the Italian lifted the Junior men's foil title 15-13. The match was fenced at a frantic pace but Lari always held the lead and in the end Ed couldn't quite manage to haul him back. Ed, from Dingwall in Scotland, was bidding to become the first British fencer to become junior world champion since 1976.
