What would Aldo Montano do
If he was here right now,
He'd make a plan
And he'd follow through,
That's what Aldo Montano'd do.
When Aldo Montano was in the olympics,
Fencing for the gold,
He did two steps and a magic flunge,
While wearing a blind fold.
When Aldo Montano was in China,
Fighting panda bears,
He used his sabre fire breath,
And saved the maidens fair.
So what would Aldo Montano do
If he were here today,
I'm sure he'd get censored by Gav,
That's what Aldo Montao'd do.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WON'T YOU BUY MY TACTICAL WHEEL!!!????
He would kill the six-fingered man in a duel. ... "Hello. My name is Aldo Montano. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
His father (and grandfather, for that matter) took silver in the Olympics. Bit of a family history as noted swordsmen (all sabre).Originally Posted by Redblade

Actually - Gold in team, as did 2 of his uncles, and the 3rd uncle got a silver in Foil team - he must be sitting with little kids at Xmas dinner.

That's what I'd thought, but when I did a quick search this morning the couple articles I found immediately cited silvers. Perhaps they were only looking at individual accomplishments?

On a somewhat related note, in advance apologizing for bearing with me (uncharacteristically I have a touch too much time on my hands this afternoon)
winning Olympix Men's Team Saber seems to be an extremely exclusive honour :
23 tournaments held - only 4 nations have won
Hungary 10
USSR/CIS/Russia 7
Italy 4
France 2
thus pre 2004 it was a club of 3 - Germany did win their own private 1906 Olympix which is not recognized by IOC.
in comparison Men's Team Epee 22 Tournaments - 6 winners
Italy 8
France 7
Hungary 3
West Germany/Germany 2
Sweden 1
Belgium 1
Men's Team Foil 21 Tournaments 6 winners
France 7
Italy 6
USSR/Russia 4
West Germany/Germany 2
Poland 1
Cuba 1
Women's Team Foil 12 Tournaments 5 Winners
USSR/Russia 5
Italy 3
West Germany 2
Hungary 1
France 1
Just to relate to 3 most prestigious events in World Sports (IMHO)
Footie World Cup
16 tournaments 7 winners
Brasil 5
Italy 4
West Germany 3
Argentina 2
Uruguay 2
France 1
England 1
Hockey Olympix
21 tournaments 6 Champions
USSR/CIS 8
Canada 7
USA 2
Sweden 2
Czech Republic 1
Great Britain 1
Basketball Olympix
15 Tournaments 4 Champions

Argentina 1
Yugoslavia 1
