West Germany’s Volker Fischer held the World title after winning in Lausanne in 1987 but it was another West German who stole the limelight in Seoul. Arnd Schmitt had been only 17th in Lausanne despite being national champion at the time. The Olympic Games saw Schmitt make smooth progress to the semi-final where he beat the USSR’s Andrey Shuvalov, who had also been in outstanding form during the early stages, on a 10-9 score line. Schmitt then won the final against two-time World Champion Philippe Riboud of France by the same score. Shuvalov rebounded to win bronze. Arnd Schmitt competed in a further three Olympic Games winning a team gold in 1992 but never again challenging for individual honours.
