Round 1

Round 1 Pool A

Cuba defeated Romania 9–7, followed by Romania defeating the Soviet Union 9–7. In the final match of the pool, Cuba needed a win to take first place while the Soviet team needed to reach at least 10 bouts won to guarantee first place (a 9–7 Soviet win would result in a three-way tie, broken by touches). The Soviets got to 10–5 to win the pool, with the final bout unnecessary.

Round 1 Pool C

In the only match of the pool, Italy defeated Hungary 8–7. (The final bout was unnecessary, as Italy's 65–52 touches lead ensured that Italy would win the tie-breaker even if Hungary won the last bout 5–0.)
