Foil, Individual, Men

Date	15 – 16 October 1968
Status	Olympic
Location	Sala de Armas Fernando Montes de Oca, Ciudad Deportiva Magdalena Mixhuca, Ciudad de México
Participants	64 from 25 countries

The Soviet Union had provided the last two World Champions in Viktor Putiatinand German Sveshnikov so it came as a surprise that none of their fencers qualified for the final six man pool to decide the medal positions. In contrast France, led by former World Champion Jean-Claude Magnan, qualified their entire team for the final stages and were joined by two Romanians and a Hungarian. One of the Romanians was Ion Drîmbă, a member of the reigning World Champion team but someone who had never won an individual World or Olympic medal despite a decade of trying. Drîmbă lost one of his five matches in the final pool but it was still enough to claim an outright win.

The only other two fencers with a winning record, Jenő Kamuti of Hungary and 1964 bronze medallist Daniel Revenu of France, fought off for silver with the Hungarian emerging triumphant.

The champion won a bronze medal with the Romanian team at the 1969 World Championships but then defected to the West. He lived in Germany and the USA before settling permanently in Brazil.
