The 2023 World Fencing Championships were held from 22 to 30 July 2023 in Milan, Italy.[1]
After the Olga Kharlan handshaking incident at the championships, in which she tapped blades as an alternative to shaking the hand of a defeated Russian opponent and was subsequently disqualified, the International Fencing Federation changed its rules so that the previously required handshakes between fencers at the end of a bout would become optional, with a distance greeting permitted instead.[2][3]
Schedule
Twelve events were held.[4]
