He is listed as Gurevich in the International Fencing Federation results.
Gurewich, 16, and a junior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, went 5-0 in the pool round, scoring 25 touches and allowing 11. His plus-14 indicator placed him third after pools and earned him a spot in the round of 16.
He defeated Brazil’s Henry Douglas 15-11 in the round of 16, then beat Colombia’s Federico Solorzano Penagos 15-12 in the quarterfinals. Gurewich’s run ended with a 15-12 semifinal loss to Colombia’s Salomon Anzola Contreras, who finished second.
