Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Andreea Mogoș downed compatriot Loredana Trigilia 15-14 in a thrilling final to win the women's individual A foil tournament at the Brazilian Paralympic Training Centre.

The 46-year-old Loredana, who was also a part of Italy's silver medal-winning team at last year's Paralympic Games, was favourite for the gold after being awarded the top seed prior to the competition.

She defeated South Korea's Kwon Hyo-kyeong 15-11 in the semi-final while Mogoș scraped past Georgia's Nino Tibilashvili via tiebreak following a 12-12 draw.

Emanuele Lambertini also won an all-Italian duel, this time in the men's individual A foil file.

The 23-year-old beat London 2012 bronze medallist Matteo Betti 15-10 in the decider after dispatching France's Ludovic Lemoine, Boonsiri Sanitmuanwai of Thailand and Brazilian Sandro Colaco en route to gold.

Damien Tokatlian was awarded a bronze medal alongside countryman Lemoine after losing to Betti 15-9 in the semi-final.

Brazil's Jovane Guissone secured home glory with a 15-12 victory against Ammar Ali of Iraq in the men's individual B foil tournament.

The three-time Paralympian Ali defeated the top seed Maxime Valet from France in the semi-final but could not replicate the same level in the crucial clash.

Guissone got the better of Italy's Michele Mass 15-11 in the final four.

Double Paralympic champion Saysunee Jana denied a third Italian gold medal by defeating Rossana Pasquino 15-12 in the women's individual B épée event.

Pasquino triumphed 15-7 over the United States' Ellen Geddes in the semi-final while Thailand's Jana comfortably beat Irma Khetsuriani of Georgia 15-6 in the other half of the bracket.

The action is set to continue tomorrow in São Paulo with the women's individual B foil, women's individual A épée, men's individual A sabre and men's individual B sabre tournaments.
