A fantastic weekend for Newham Swords at the Wratislava Challenge! All ten of our fencers achieved personal bests and were a great support for one another.
Massive congratulations to Sophia Chu who won the U11 Girls (out of 146 fencers), achieving her first international podium finish, and to James Hernon who came 5th in the U15 Boys (out of 189 fencers), also achieving his first international podium finish!
Well done also to:
U13 Boys (209 fencers):
Axel Ansah: 15th
Nathan Gollen: 49th
Ran Hu: 64th
All three boys had never fenced in an international event before so their results are outstanding!
U13 Girls (192 fencers):
Farah Viegas-Trimble: 13th
Veronika Kushtan: 31st
Sukhmani Panesar: 138th
U15 Girls (174 fencers):
Darcy Attwood: 63rd
U15 Boys (189 fencers):
Tyler Osborne: 52nd
A big shout at to our coaches, Pierre Harper and Emilija Lukaite, who did an amazing job looking after all twelve fencers over the two days of competition!!
The Newham Swords Family is super proud of you all!!
