Team GB's James Honeybone suffers defeat in last 16 of individual sabre

British fencer James Honeybone loses in the last 16 of the individual sabre to Tiberiu Dolniceanu of Romania.

British fencer James Honeybone has lost in the last 16 of the individual sabre to Romanian Tiberiu Dolniceanu.

Dolniceanu, ranked third in the world, edged the first period 8-7 before blitzing the second period 15-10.

The tournament can be seen as successful for Honeybone though, who is ranked 61st in the world.

It has been a disappointing day at the fencing for Great Britain after Corinna Lawrence also lost in the last 16 of the individual epee earlier.
