    Philippe and Erik Boisse?

    Philippe (the father) won the olympic gold in individual épée in 1984 and a team gold in 1980.
    Erik won the team gold in 2004, silver medal in the last worlds and should pick up some medal in Beijing.

    Me and my unborn son. He's the 2030 and 2031 World Champion in Epee and the 2032 Olympic Gold Medalist in all three weapons.

    Mike D'Asaro Sr. and Jr. deserve a mention as well.
    That's it, I'm done with the discussion forums on F.net. It's had its uses, but the ideologues, ranters, and "experts" have drowned too many of the conversations. I'm changing my password to something random and never logging in again.

    Competing for the Soviet Union, Nazlymov was a three-time Olympic Team Gold medallist (1968, 1976, 1980), Team Silver medallist (1972) and individual silver and bronze medallist (1976, 1972). In addition to his six Olympic medals, Nazlymov also is a 10-time World Champion. Eight of the championships were team titles, while two were individual crowns (1975, 1979). Additionally, he was a world championship silver medallist (1977) and bronze medallist (1970, 1973). From 1971-1977, Nazlymov reigned as the USSR national champion (team and individual). In recognition of his tremendous success, Nazlymov twice was named the world's best sabre fencer by the (F.I.E.) International Fencing Federation (1975, 1977).

    Didn't you retire from fencing at 15?

    More like 17. And its not retirement, its just a prolonged period of burn out.

    The longer I take off though, the better I get.

    As I'm known to say, Fencing was never any good to me until I had kids... the dynasty is theirs, I'm just the dad, the armorer, the wallet, the coach (when the real one is not there), and the section chair (as of tonight)...

    but I've never been a fencer who's name could have been muttered in the same sentence with D'Asaro, Massialas and the rest of the real fencers in that list (I wish I was, and certainly, I'm living vicariously through the kids...)
