Deriglazova, who has tussled with Errigo all year for the world No.1 ranking, reclaimed the top spot with a 15-10 victory for her first foil World Cup gold medal of the season.

Erika Kirpu of Estonia, the world No.16, claimed the women’s epee gold with a 15-11 win over Italy’s 33rd-ranked Giulia Rizzi in Legnano, Italy. Kirpu had ousted world No.1 Anqi Xu on the way to the final. Other surprise casualties at the last-32 stage were world No. 2 Sara Besbes and Rio Grand Prix winner Tatiana Logunova.

Normal service was resumed in the men’s epee, meanwhile, as world No. 1 Gauthier Grumier ended his World Cup season with gold on home soil at the Challenge SNCF Réseau in Paris. The Frenchman, who came ninth at the Rio Grand Prix last month, beat Russia’s Pavel Sukhov 15- 11 in the final for his second World Cup win of the season.
