Witold Woyda had been one of the world’s top fencers for more than a decade but not one of his 11 World and Olympic medals had been a gold one. He certainly wasn’t the most impressive qualifier for the final stage of the tournament in Munich and came within a single hit of elimination at one stage. However things changed drastically in the medal pool as Woyda went on a five match winning streak to clinch the elusive first global title of his career in his fourth Olympic Games. He later left Poland and moved firstly to Italy and then to the USA
Repeating his silver medal from the Games of 1968 was Hungarian Jenő Kamuti who was to have a long career in sports administration. He served as Secretary-General of the International Fencing Federation and then took the identical job with the Hungarian Olympic Committee.
