I was told by Eric Dew that Rick DiNapoli is in charge of the Titan Games. He is getting me an e-mail address. As soon as I know I will pass it on. Donald Hollis Clinton, Jr. DHCJr@juno.com

80K. wonder if it will ressurect teh bugaboo about prize moeny and professionalism in fencing.
Second question is who is going to be competeing? If you give a man a fire, he is warm for the night.
If you set a man on fire, he is warm for the rest of his life.

Olympic hopefuls only, from Asia (China), Mexico, and the US.
Iris is one of the featured ones. I'm guessing, they might ask Tim Chang or Alex Wood, and Eric Hansen and Cody Mattern. As for sabre, I'm sure they would have to import them from the East Coast.

Here is another release from the USOC
ESPN2 Slated To Televise Inaugural Titan Games
Fencing on ESPN?
I refuse to get my hopes up, but the possibility exists.

From the web-site, "Elite boxers, fencers, shot putters, wrestlers, weightlifters and judo, taekwondo and karate athletes will be matched up with the world's best in each of their respective sports."
it almost makes it sound like the fencers and wrestlers will be competing against each other.
I agree with Prometheus, I'll believe it when I see it.

They'll show the rest of the sports and mention fencing with a 5 second flash.
(or am I just being cynical?) If you give a man a fire, he is warm for the night.
If you set a man on fire, he is warm for the rest of his life.

Titan Games The Titan Games will occur on Fri 2/14 7pm - 10 pm (Pan Am v Asia); Sat 2/15 12pm - 3pm (US v Pan Am); and Sat 2/15 7pm - 10 pm (US v Asia). tickets are $24 - 28 per session. Each session includes not only fencing, but also Olympic Boxing, Wrestling, Weightlifting, Shot Put (with Beer Garden), Judo, and Tae Kwon Do. All events will be happening simultaneously at one venue (the San Jose State University Event Center) (ala 3 ring circus). You can e-mail me at dinap@earthlink.net for tickets. $4 of each of these tickets goes to the Bay Cup Fencing.
The date, which conflicts with the JO's was selected by the USOC and not USFA.

Any word yet on who the US fencers are? The internationals?
