I have have arrived with 4 CFA fencers at the Athlete`s Villiage in Shenzhen, host city of the Universiade 20011. Fencing starts on the 13th with men’s sabre and women’s foil, followed by men’s epee and women’s sabre on the 14th and finally our CFA fencers take to the psite on the 15th. Good luck guys!
Best of luck to everyone at home. Academy will be open from 22nd of August. Stay tuned for results from Shenzhin.
Misha
After winning bronze and silver medals with the SA fencing team at the African Championships in Cairo last month, Misha will be jetting off once again with his students. This time Misha will be accompanying his team to the 2011 Universiade, also known as the World University Game, in Shenzhen, China.
5 out of 6 fencers qualified are originally CFA students who train under Misha. They includes Jacques Viljoen, Skye Pym-Siljeur and Giselle Vicatos who are all from UCT and Jarryd New from CPUT. The team depart on the 6th of August and return on the 19th.
