He never really stood a hope of getting through to the final but was beaten in a thrilling bronze medal fight off by a Ruski (who probably shouldn’t even be there ::grrrr:🙂 meant he came in the most invidious position - 4th ☹ ah well, keep an eye on the team foil - our lads stand a moderate chance. ---

My next door neighbour was actually putting up fencing while the fencing was on the TV - I could have watched live fencing, which looked about as interesting, but easier to understand. Odd but true. ---
