Edgar Chumacero, foil, became the first fencer from Mexico to qualify for the Olympics since 1989! Now the Mexico Fencing Federation (FME) is fighting to get the support necessary to go.

Here is the link to the discussion on the esgrimamex site:

Congratulations to Mr. Chumacero (age 24) for his hard work and achievements.

Um... there was no Olympics in 1989. 1988 perhaps?

Whatever the year, congrats to him!

well there's their problem: They're trying to qualify to phantom olympics on non-olympic years.

The federation finally adjusted their clocks to daylight savings time, and are going to start sending people now

Can the Klingon Empire be far behind, then?

Is there a discipline "Targ throwing" in the Olympics?
