Canada wins first medal in fencing

Eleanor Harvey has won Canada's first-ever medal in fencing at the Olympics.

Harvey won bronze in the women's individual foil event defeating Italy's Alice Volpi 15-12 in the third place match.

The 29 year-old carried a winning record into the match, winning four of their previous seven meetings.

Harvey was up 3-0 before Volpi could put a point on the board.

The 29 year-old had her Olympic debut in Rio in 2016 where she achieved Canada's best-ever Olympic result in any individual fencing event.

She placed seventh in the women's individual foil event during those games making it as far as the quarter finals.
