France's Marie-Florence Candassamy has pulled off a stunning upset in fencing, knocking top-ranked Anqi Xu of China out of the women's epee tournament in the round of 32.

Candassamy entered the tournament ranked just 49th in the world, but her aggressive fighting style had Xu on her heels. Candassamy took a 10-6 lead after the second period and clinched the blowout victory midway through the third period.
