Women's sabre last 16

Top seed Gavrilova (RUS) has an easier time of it this round beating Jae-Yeun You (KOR) 15-5. It is not good news for third seed Sinigaglia (ITA) who loses to early favourite Olga Kharlan 15-9, and similarly fourth seed Caroline Vloka (USA) loses to Reka Peto (HUN) 15-11.

After taking out 5th seed Reka Benko (HUN) Mihaela Bulica (ROM) comes through a very close match against Poland's Marta Puda. At 14-14 it took Bulica four attempts to close out the match with a single light after four hits were called together.

As the quarter finals get underway there are eight different nations represented.
