London 2012 fencing Google doodle is a second of its kind to make it to the list of doodles featured during the Olympics.

The first fencing related Google doodle was posted in the 2004 Olympics held at Athens. The doodle depicted two Greek Gods in a fencing duel with each other, which they seemed rather happy about.

During the 2004 Olympics at Athens, fencing was hosted exclusively at the Fencing hall in the Helliniko Olympic Complex . A total of 223 fencers (129 men and 94 women) from 42 nations competed at the Athens Games with Italy being ranked at the top of the fencing medal table .

In the 2008 Olympics held at Beijing, fencing competitions were held from August 9 to August 17 at the Olympic Green Convention Center with France grabbing the top spot bagging 4 medals, 2 gold and 2 silver.
