I just had a look at FIE rankings - it would seem that fencers who go out in the L64 at the Olympics get 6 FIE ranking points, and 12 for those who go out in the L32, even if they didn't have to fence a L64 fight to get there. Is it just me, or does that seem rather generous for effectively "just turning up" (admittedly after working bloody hard to qualify)?
