Brit Update

With the women's foil last 64 running (incomplete with 52 fencers) time for a Brit update and mixed news, I'm afraid. Frankie Pioli lost to Mirela Ifrim of Roumania 15-7, the 17th seed proving too strong and Georgia Hannay was beaten by Yuki Yasuda of Japan 13-6. Yasuda had had a disappointing poule but came good to post a comfortable win. However Alex Craig provided some cheer edging out Belgium's Marie Deschuyter 15-14 to progress to the last 32 where she will meet Iman Kulhanek of the Netherlands.
