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.
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.
Did anyone ever determine if there was more than sabre in Iceland? How about foil?
And how expensive is expensive?
Here is the website of the Icelandic Fencing Federation: http://www.skylmingar.is/
I looked it over, and it does not contain all that much. There is a picture of a lot of sabre fencers, but no point-weaponists.
When I did a googlesearch on "Nordic Championships" and Iceland and foil, I have so far not found anything. They did, however, clean the clock of the rest of the Nordic countries in sabre in the 2007 open Nordic Championships 2007. I have managed to find the Icelandic words for the weapons:
léttu lagsverši (foil)
žungu lagsverši (épée)
höggsverši (sabre)
The words "léttu" and "žungu" probably mean "light" and "heavy" respectively, since similar-sounding words mean that in Swedish, and Swedish is related to Icelandic. "Högg" sounds similar to "Hugg", which means cut or slash in Swedish. "sverši" is Similar to the swedish word "Svärd", or "Sword" in English. Contact me if you have more problems with North-Germanic languages.
I have tried to search for various Icelandic foil-related words, or mentions of the Icelandic championships in Icelandic. Results: Nada.
The rest of their contact info is listed below. You can take for granted that all educated people in the Nordic Countries write passable/good English.
