Wow! Your Nordic Sabre Center looks like a fantastic facility!!

Do you do any foil up there?

I see our esteemed FIE President Rene Roch in the pictures. Was he there to open the center?

How many coaches were in your coaching clinic? Looks like a lot of young coaches...that's great!

Very nice event. Thank you for sharing.

I visited Iceland last summer, and had a fantastic time. I only had a couple days, so there wasn't much chance to get out of Reykjavik. However, we had such a great time that we will definitely be back again someday soon.

For anyone interested in visiting Iceland, if you book your flights to Europe via Icelandic Air, they will generally allow a multiple (up to 7, iirc) day layover in Iceland for free. It's a great airline, and I've never seen such gorgeous stewardesses in my life. They wear uniforms that look like they are from the 50's. Good times. Good memories.

Iceland is extraordinarily expensive, but the experience is very worth the price.

Where is the facility located? Reykjavik is pretty small, and the facility appears to be fairly large.

Mr. René Roch, FIE’s President and Mr. Jenő Kamuti, EFC’s first vice President were present for the Opening of the Sabre Center.
You can find more information about the Sabre Center in our Project – Nordic Sabre Center. Please see attached file.

All the best from Iceland,

That's it. I'm going. Hope you have foil up there. i will have to pack some long underarmor...my blood has gotten thin down here in San Antonio. Good thing fencing is an indoor sport.
