Women's foil last 64s

In the shock of the last 64 fights in the Junior women's foil, Canadian Alanna Goldie knocked out 4th seed Hanna Lyczbinska 15-11 to progress to the last 32. Other upsets to the form book were Kristina Bokorova (SVK) eliminating Mi Hyun Pak of Korea by the same score and Dumitru (ROU) defeating Essl of Austria 15-12. Otherwise most of the top seeds enjoyed a smooth passage into the next round.

All the British girls bowed out at this stage, Catriona Sibert getting closest with a frustrating 15-13 loss to Anna Bourdakou (GRE).
