Careful--You're not old enough to pull off that particular style of witticism, and I'm old enough to remember when that kind of statement was made without any reflection whatsoever.

Hi!

What is the highest medal that Tracy Hurley has gotten?

BTW: In a time where Nancy is going to be followed by either Kalle or Tracy, and all reasonable World-level senior medal hopes for USFA also are female, it appears as if put-downs by males in the the primary problem of USFA.

Have a nice time!

Obviously, if he was young enough to say it in the first place.

Giuseppe and Eduardo Mangiarotti, perhaps?

[Mr.MightyMouse]

Santellis, Gereviches and Boisses come to mind, as well as,


a.
3 generations of Montanos :
Aldo's grandfather, also Aldo, won team silver at Berlin in 1936 and London in 1948,
a feat repeated twice by his father Mario Aldo in 1976 and 1980;
Mario Aldo and his brother Mario Tullio were on the 1972 Gold Sabre team, I did not bother to check for WC's;
another Mario Aldo's cousin - Tommaso and Mario Tullio, were on the 1976 Silver Team,
yet, another Mario Aldo's cousin - Carlo - was on the Silver Foil team in 1980,

so - to recap - Aldo Montano, his Father, his Grandfather, and his 3 Uncles have won Olympic medals

b.
Giuseppe, Nedo and Aldo Nadi.

Beppe Nadi, master in Livorno, one of the founders of the Livornese school;
father and teacher of
Nedo Nadi (1894 - 1940), six Olympic gold medals :
1912 Stockholm Foil Individual
1920 Antwerp Foil Individual
1920 Antwerp Sabre Individual
1920 Antwerp Foil Team
1920 Antwerp Épée Team
1920 Antwerp Sabre
and president of the Italian Federation of Fencing
and Aldo Nadi (1899 - 1965) amateur and professional champion
three Olympic gold and one silver medal
Gold 1920 Antwerp Team foil
Gold 1920 Antwerp Team épée
Gold 1920 Antwerp Team sabre
Silver 1920 Antwerp Sabre Individual
Individual sabre, master in Paris, New York, and Los Angeles, and author of On Fencing (New York: 1943), and The Living Sword (written in 1955, published in 1995), in which he claimed that his father pressured him to let Nedo have the Sabre gold in Antwerp, and that his entire career he lost 1 bout.

c.
David and Gennady Tyshler

d.
Gyözö Kulcsar and his nephew Krisztian have 6 Olympic Epee medals between them

e.
There were 4 Mangiarottis in Olympics (IMHO) Giuseppe, Edoaurdo, Dario and Carol - with a total medal count of 17?

And once another issue is resolved....


Oh come on! Am I the only one who saw the "Leon Paul Tip Problems" thread???

Okay I didn't actually read it. It seemed rather <ahem> personal. Best of luck with that Leon.
