Fencing: Gibraltar to host an Olympic fencing event at Westside School
The Gibraltar Fencing club (Viking) will be hosting the Club Esgrima San Pedro de Alcantara on Saturday from noon.
A number of bouts are planned in the third encounter between the local club and the Costa del Sol club, which boasts some top fencers in the region. Furthermore, the fencing master of San Pedro is no other than the legendary Mr Ihor Hornyak (pictured right with Antonio Casares left, an experienced coach from San Pedro), a Ukranian World and national Champion who now resides and teaches in Spain. The competition will start at midday and will involve mixed fencing in foil and epee.
The local club is expected to perform at a high level in both weapons and hopes a good crowd turns up to witness some top fencing and perhaps even take up the challenge of learning to fence this year. Everyone is welcome to attend the event.
