Massialas, Merza Lead U.S. Fencers into Singapore
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Five teenage American fencers will board a plane for Singapore for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, Aug. 14-26. Head Coach Sergey Isayenko leads the U.S. delegation into the fencing venue, the International Convention Centre. Fencers aged 15-17 will compete in boys and girl’s epee, foil and saber from Aug. 15-18. There will also be a mixed team competition featuring boys and girls in all weapons.
Team USA includes:
Katharine Holmes (Washington, D.C.) - Women’s Epee
Alexander Massialas (San Francisco, Calif.) - Men’s Foil
Celina Merza (Wayne, N.J.) - Women’s Saber
Mona Shaito (Garland, Texas) - Women’s Foil
Will Spear (Wyantskill, N.Y.) - Men’s Saber
“It is a great honor both to have qualified and to be able to represent the United States, competing in the first ever Youth Olympic Games,” Holmes said. “I am really looking forward to meeting all the other athletes in Singapore. It should be an amazing experience.”
The U.S. did not qualify a spot in the men’s epee competition. Lee Kiefer (Lexington, Ky.) qualified for women’s foil but is unable to fence due to school obligations. The 16-year-old Shaito was the first alternate. The fencers qualified during the Junior/Cadet World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan.
“I have dreamed about the Olympics since I was 7 years old,” Merza said. “The Youth Olympic Games give me an opportunity to live a part of my dream and I’m even more determined to continue to strive to make it to the Olympics in the future. I am excited about meeting new people and hope to return with a medal, making this experience an even more unforgettable one.”
All five American fencers competed in the U.S. Fencing Summer National Championships in Atlanta, Ga., July 4-13. Massialas won the Division 1 national championship and finished second in the Senior Team Foil event. Spear and his teammates from Manhattan Fencing won the Under 19 Team Saber national championship. Spear won the silver medal in Under 19 individual saber and took bronze in Senior Team saber.
“Being able to participate in the first ever Youth Olympics and representing my country is an incredible honor and experience I will never forget,” Shaito said.
Merza won two silver medals at Summer Nationals, competing with Bergen Fencing Club in the Senior and Under 19 team saber events. Holmes placed 10th in Under 19 epee and 17th in Division 1 epee. Shaito earned a silver medal in Under 16 foil and a bronze medal in Under 19 foil.

David Beckham takes up fencing at the urge of friends Tom Cruise and Will Smith...
David Beckham has found a new sporting venture to ‘bond’ with his Hollywood pals, though rather than taking up a traditional American sport, he has gone back in time – to fencing.
En garde: Beckham has switched his football kit for fencing gear
Yes, you read it right, the Leytonstone-born football star has been switching his boots for swords, at the encouragement of fellow celebrities Tom Cruise and Will Smith. Cruise even has a room in his house for training, where the three musketeers can practice their swordsmanship.
Smith told the Daily Mirror: “We don’t get enough time for hanging out, just us three guys, so this is his way of getting together and bonding. David and I go to his home and just do fencing. It’s a lot of fun.”
Being a multi-million dollar sports star, however, Beckham would be be wise to avoid the sharp end of these action heroes, though Smith seems aware of the risks. “We wanted an activity that was strenuous, but we’re getting older – we have to think about slowing down.”
Smith added: “We’ve got to watch our joints.”

What does your ideal fencing club look like?
Does it have the state of the art equipment? Top of the line coaches who are experienced and professional? A central, easy to get to location? What is YOUR dream fencing club???
