US Olympic Team Member Alex MASSIALAS takes Silver at St. Petersburg World Cup!! Our US Men’s Foil Team is on FIRE!
March 6, 2013`
Our US Men’s Foil Team is putting up some HISTORIC results.
I don’t know why this isn’t a bigger story but 2012 US Olympic team member Alex Massialas is leading the way with strong fencing in both the individual and team events. He finished SECOND in the individual event at this past weekend’s world cup in St. Petersburg as the team also captured the silver medal!!!
He’s won back-to-back medals at world cups (a bronze last tournament!) and I think the last person to do that was Cliff Bayer back in 1990s!!!
He’s clearly becoming our best men’s fencer across all weapons!
Not far behind, Gerek Meinhardt who also took Bronze at the past world cup made the top-8 in St. Petersburg.
Overall, our men’s foil team including Race Imboden and Miles Chamley-Watson has now won back to back medals in the team world cup events including the first ever gold medal in US history in the the team event.
They are looking like strong medal contenders for RIO 2016 if they can keep it up. Might we be looking at 2-3 Olympic medals out of our men’s foil team at the Rio Games? It certainly looks like they are capable.

Ask an Olympic Fencer: How do I beat Darth Vader in a sword fight?
March 1, 2013
Answer: Easy! Attack in his preparation when he raises his light saber over his head!
Darth Vader might have had better technique if he had FENCING IN THE SCHOOLS!!!
Let’s make sure future Darth Vader’s don’t have this issue by donating to help start fencing programs in SCHOOLS!

Cool Fencing Video of the Day: Masters De Fleuret Promo Video! This year US Olympian Race Imboden will compete!
February 28, 2013Very nice to see fencing tournaments looking good and producing marketing materials like promotional videos.
We just need to make our “regular” tournaments i.e. world cups and NACS (world champs and Olympics look pretty good) also have this same kind of promotion and improved appearance. Most of the world saber tournaments are still in high school gyms or odd places with no spectators and our nationals are still in convention centers with no spectators.
