US Epee champions

[jjefferies]

Who in the US has medaled in epee at the world level? I know of Kaz Kampe who took the gold in Veterans 60? a couple of years ago. Who else. Is there a list somewhere tucked away into the USFA or FIE websites?

Are you talking about all world level competitions, or only championships?

Ed Richards - World Master's Championships (or similarly named event)

Well it would be interesting to see all but I'd be happy to just see championships. Correct me, how does that work, the opens are all World Cups while Championships are the age delimited events? World Cups are series while Championships are once a year?

There's one World Champs per year per age group.

Recently, Benji Ungar took a bronze in JME. Graham Wicas took gold in CME. That should get you started.

For World Cups, I'd recommend http://www.international.usfencing.org/congrats.htm. It has this past season's results, at least.

go to www.fie.ch

You can look up past results - and they are very comprehensive if a little unstructured.

Try this thread as well. I linked to a site which provides a wealth of information - have a look at the US results.

Well from the http://sports123.com/fen/index.html site it appears that the only american to medal in Olympics epee was a bronze in 1928:
1928 Amsterdam (net) Lucien Gaudin (fra) George Buchard (fra) George Calnan (usa)

What about the championships? I'm fairly certain that Kaz took the vet world championships a couple of years ago.

He definitely did; I remember its being announced, and fencing him at a NAC shortly afterward. But it was a bit longer ago than that -- more than just a couple of years. Maybe in the 5-8 year range?

That particular site should be considered "unofficial" - I actualy got it from someone else from this discussion forum. Your best bet is the FIE site. It might take you a while to find the information you want, but it is there.

EDIT: Hang on... The world veterans is not even covered by Sport123.
