Not one of the Hungarian sabrists was eliminated during the first two rounds. The sabre team also successfully defended its gold medal in the team competition. The Hungarians did not fare as well in either the foil. Or the épée, however, with only one fencer reaching the final in either of those two events as Béla Békessy placed seventh in the foil.
