Day five
Women's Epee Teams
The Australian women’s epee team of Madeleine Andersen, Annie Devereaux, Dianna Gu and Emily Patten, ranked 7th, took on Iran (10th) in the first round. The women struggled from the outset and couldn’t chase a growing lead by the Iranians, finishing the match 45-31 down.
Fencing for final places, the Australian women defeated New Zealand 45-39 before taking on the Philippines, winning a closely fought match in thrilling style 45-43. Their next match had none of that verve, however, with the Australians losing to Singapore 45-31, finishing the tournament in 10th place.
Men's Sabre Teams
The 8th-ranked men’s sabre team’s opening gambit had the Australian cheer squad working overtime, with Sean Andrews, William Campbell, Alexandre Douglas and Zak Leonhard all firing from the outset in their match against Vietnam (9th). The lead see-sawed constantly but finally landed in Vietnam’s favour 45-43.
With fewer than 16 teams in the event the Australians had a bye into the 9th-12th playoff rounds, posting losses to Kazakhstan 45-38 and then India 45-32 to finish in 12th position overall.
