1912 Olympic Games Official Report Part 2

The eliminating rounds were carried out group-wise, on the sameprinciples as those obtaining in the épée competition. In the firstround, the Greeks retired without a stroke. In the second, the Russianswere beaten after an energetic resistance; the team really deserveda better fate, for its fencing, as a whole, was a most artistic display,and the superiority shown by the Belgians and the Italians was exceedinglylittle. The Swedes and the Danes were eliminated in thefirst round, each in its special group, and it soon grew evident thatAustria, Hungary, and Bohemia had the lead, no other country thanHolland being able to fight its way to the final. This round was aseries of most brilliant meetings, the Hungarians remaining unbeatento the end. As in the contests with the épée, the Dutch team workedwith the greatest energy, and finally succeeded in beating the Bohemianteam, which, although pursued by ill-luck, gave a first-class exhibitionof fencing, under its 50-year old leader, Gopphold de Lobsdorf, s:r,seconded by his two sons.III B.
