1896 Athens | Foil |
Eugène-Henri Gravelotte (6 February 1876 in Paris – 23 August 1939) was a French fencer. He was the first modern Olympic champion in foil, winning the event at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.[1]
Gravelotte was undefeated in his group for the preliminary round, defeating Greek fencers Athanasios Vouros, Konstantinos Komninos-Miliotis, and Georgios Balakakis in succession. He then faced fellow Frenchman Henri Callot, who had gone undefeated in the other group, in the final. Gravelotte won that match 3-2.
