Prescod retains title

Nzingha Prescod (USA) defeated compatriot Lee Kiefer 15-6 to retain her women's cadet foil world title. Prescod leapt to an early 6-1 lead by disrupting her opponent's attacks to score with a mixture of counter-attacks and ripostes but was steadily pegged back by Kiefer and the gap closed to a couple of hits. However Prescod held her nerve to pick off her opponent as Kiefer had to chase as the clock ran down and eventually ran out a convincing winner.
