Fencing ad

http://finance.yahoo.com

There's an ad for NASDAQ that features some fencing. Looks like a shot from the opening bell when there was some sort of fencing demonstration in connection with the World Cup.

Ack. One of only many ads currently running on the page. You may need to reload a bunch to find it. Nice that the USFA (or some local organizer) got fencing the opportunity for this.

Okay, here's more information.

http://www.nasdaq.com/reference/market_open_061303.stm

Doesn't have the video clip from the ad, rather a still shot. Looks like the USFA opened trading today (specifically Stacey Johnson, Peter Westbrook, Rita Finkel (manager of the FC), and several of the competitors).

The world cup was also listed on an electronic display run by NASDAQ in Times Square.

Good job USFA.

Wow that's great, happy to see that moving the World Cup back to NY has done it some good.
