Another season has ended with Summer Nationals, the biggest fencing event in the world. More than 5,000 athletes converged in Anaheim, California to compete in all age groups and weapons. NYFA was represented by 13 athletes: Sophia Chelnitsky, Alex Watkins, Michael Burovsky, Anton Chmut, Bennett Cohen, Sam Burman, Richard Kim, Alan Temiryaev, Anna Brosgol, Skyler Chin, Romain Cannone, Jackie Khrol, and Luca Bellomi. Some are seasoned and experienced but most are young and promising athletes who were fencing in a competition of such scale for the first time. All should be proud to have made it to Summer Nationals – you qualified, fought hard and gained great experience for future events. Congratulations!
