Fencing was present at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. There were, five fencing events that were contested.[1]
Because the rules of fencing had not been unified yet, the Swedish organizers decided on the rules. France did not agree that a hit on the upper arm should not count as a point, and Italy did not agree on the length of the épée, so both countries boycotted this event.[2]
