It never works out.
History is replete with examples of Americans and Canadians and people from even more obscure fencing nations winning medals at Cadets (and to a lesser extent juniors). I dunno why that is, but it happens.... and then, in senior.... nothing.
Keeth Smart and Sherraine Mackay are notable exceptions to the rule.
Still, winning is nothing to sneeze at. It's a great achievement. Just don't hold your breath for that to translate into senior results. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that the young fencers are not at a significant disadvantage -- but older fencers need more money and serious financial support to develop in the same way. The footing is more equal at the younger ages.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that the young fencers are not at a significant disadvantage -- but older fencers need more money and serious financial support to develop in the same way. The footing is more equal at the younger ages. This used to be true to a certain extent but now things are changing. Sada Jacobson, still a Junior is #2 in Senior Standing in the world. She has been going to college for the past two years too. (Maybe three not sure.)
Emily Cross (who by the way is a delightful human being in spite of her success, others could learn from her) will most likely continue to do very well in senior age groups.
The young ones are kicking the old ones out of their spots on the point lists in Senior. Rather than an issue of them crashing after getting to be senior fencers, the pool of fencers is getting so much larger now, the quality of fencing improves very quickly.
The fencers that have it, will continue to have it.
In the junior competitions, the old stars are fading out as the new fencers take their place. Competition is FIERCE. If they don't improve they don't win. It is a smelting process that didn't happen until the Division I level before. Now it is happening in Cadet and Junior and even in Y14.
Just wait.... A friend will bail you out of jail,

And with regards to Emily Cross specifically, she doesn't have to worry too much about finances for the forseeable future. Well, maybe after she turns 30 or so. But until then, she won't have to worry too much about the financial aspects of fencing for the next ten+ years. That's three possible Olympics (2004, 2008, 2012) to contend with.
