1912 Olympic Games Official Report Part 2 - LA84 Foundation

The eliminating rounds were carried out group-wise, on the same
principles as those obtaining in the épée competition. In the first
round, the Greeks retired without a stroke. In the second, the Russians
were beaten after an energetic resistance; the team really deserved
a better fate, for its fencing, as a whole, was a most artistic display,
and the superiority shown by the Belgians and the Italians was exceedingly
little. The Swedes and the Danes were eliminated in the
first round, each in its special group, and it soon grew evident that
Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia had the lead, no other country than
Holland being able to fight its way to the final. This round was a
series of most brilliant meetings, the Hungarians remaining unbeaten
to the end. As in the contests with the épée, the Dutch team worked
with the greatest energy, and finally succeeded in beating the Bohemian
team, which, although pursued by ill-luck, gave a first-class exhibition
of fencing, under its 50-year old leader, Gopphold de Lobsdorf, s:r,
seconded by his two sons.
