This is cool - I found a message that Romain @romaincannone sent to me before he went to France to try make the senior team! I guess it did work out big time for him! #teamfrance #teamnyfa
Don’t know what to start this post from but today happened something huge - something that makes sense now when I look back! One of my first students Romain Cannone @romaincannone became an Olympic champion! Looking back at his path as an athlete starting from a small 12 years old skinny boy to this amazing fencer I know that he deserved every little bit of this medal! Romain started fencing relatively late, he wasn’t the most athletic or tall kid and he didn’t have US citizenship and couldn’t fence many events here but what he had is huge love and passion for the sport, working ethics and sportsmanship! Everyone who knows Romain say that he is a great person besides amazing athlete! I want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart with the achievement that now proves that when you put your heart into the sport, when you make sacrifices to move to new level, when you stay true to yourself, when you remember your roots and value people that impacted your life you will inevitably succeed because you deserve and earned it! And no matter how many obstacles Romain had on his way he never gave up, always worked to the top of his abilities and stayed this kind, respectful and loving person! All the kids were looking up to you and you always were opened to help them - no matter the level you achieved you stayed the Romain we always knew!
