Bad news for Britain's Ben White as he is beaten by France's Virgile Marchal 15-6. Although he kept in touch at the start of the fight, the Frenchman launced a series of superb attacks to extend the lead and close the fight out.
Top seed Julian Seidl (CZE) goes through to the last 16, 15-7 against South Africa's Emil Schroder. He now faces Filip Broniszewski (POL) who was seeded 81st and beat 80th seeded Fahed Hasan (KUW) in the last 32.
Second seed Kristian Boyadzhiev (BUL) just made it past early favourite Dimitry Prokhorov (ISR) 15-14. Sixth seeded Lahtinen (FIN) is now the next highest seeded fencer left in the draw as he beat Slovenia's Zurpancic 15-6.
There are now only four fencers in the last 16 were originally seeded to progress that far in the competition.
