Hope of those of you attending Summer Nationals have a great time!

Most of the US National team will be competing in El Salvador at the Pan American Championships this weekend and I'l lbe trying to keep everyone updated.

Live updates at: www.twitter.com/timmorehouse (I'll be twittering inbetween points this time...jk)

I'll also be blogging: www.timmorehouse.wordpress.com (but as always that will depend on internet access at the hotel and venue)

Wish us luck! (And that the issues in Honduras don't spill over to neighbors while we're there!)

I suspect that much of the competition will be from other USA fencers?

Another fairly easy opportunity for US fencers to dramatically improve their FIE rankings! I just calculated that Meinhardt has taken, from the PACs, 168 out of his total 388 points in last three seasons. Amounts to at good 10 ranking positions each season. Still, I really like watching him fence.

Getz has taken almost 50% of his points this year and 64 out of 80 last season!

Is there anywhere one can see all of the results? Google search yielded nothing. BBC, TSN, ESPN and others do not recognize that fencing exists (search fencing = fences in ball parks!).

Fencergrl · 07-06-2009, 09:42 PM

Yeah... it would be nice to hear the Canadian results.

From the Federación Salvadoreña de Esgrima

http://www.esgrimaelsalvador.org/ind...ion=com_search

Today's Canadian results:

WET 2nd
MST 3rd

Medalists from previous days:
Phillipe Beaudry MS bronze
Etienne LaLonde MF bronze
Hugues Boissart-Simard ME bronze

edit: The FIE website has results from three events: MS, WS, MF. It's not clear to me why the other individual results, at least, aren't yet posted. Presumably eventually all results will appear there.

Gracias/Merci/Thanks.

It looks like Igor and Sherraine redeemed themselves in the teams (or does a black card in singles bar you from team competition?).
