Nine teams competed in the women's team foil event. The draw was made considering the FIE rankings. 
Other variants include chair fencing, "one-hit épée" (one of the five events which constitute modern pentathlon) and the various types of non-Olympic competitive fencing. Chair fencing is similar to wheelchair fencing but for the able bodied. The opponents set up opposing chairs and fence while seated; all the usual rules of fencing are applied. An example of the latter is the American Fencing League (distinct from the United States Fencing Association): the format of competitions is different and the right of way rules are interpreted in a different way. In a number of countries, school and university matches deviate slightly from the FIE format.
Earlier variants of the fairy tale "Jack the Giant-Killer" found in chapbooks include various renditions of the poem, recited by the giant Thunderdell:<poem>Fee, fau, fum,I smell the blood of an "English" man,Be alive, or be he dead,I'll grind his bones to make my bread.</poem><poem>Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum.I smell the blood of an Englishman,Be he living, or be he dead,I’ll grind his bones to mix my bread.</poem>In William Shakespeare's play "King Lear", the character of Edgar exclaims:<poem>Fie, foh, and fum,I smell the blood of a British man.</poem>The verse in "King Lear" makes use of the archaic word "fie", used to express disapproval. This word is used repeatedly in Shakespeare's works, King Lear himself shouting, "Fie, fie, fie! pah, pah!" and the character of Mark Antony (in "Antony and Cleopatra") simply exclaiming "O fie, fie, fie!" The word "fum" has sometimes been interpreted as "fume". Formations such as "fo" and "foh" are perhaps related to the expression "pooh! ", which is used by one of the giants in "Jack the Giant-Killer"; such conjectures largely indicate that the phrase is of imitative origin, rooted in the sounds of flustering and anger. 
The FIE maintains the current rules used for FIE sanctioned international events, including world cups, world championships and the Olympic Games. The FIE handles proposals to change the rules the first year after an Olympic year in the annual congress.
