Australian Fencers to meet the President of the International Olympic Committee
with Team mate Boston Fawkes and National Sabre Coach, Antonio Signorello
Young Aussie fencers to meet the Olympic fencer who made it to the top.
Australian fencers aspiring to reach the Olympics will soon have a chance to meet a fencer who won an Olympic gold medal and went on to lead the Olympic movement.
The President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, will meet young Australian fencers when he visits Sydney on 29 April.
Thomas Bach was a member of the gold medal winning German foil team at the 1976 Montreal Olympics and won the individual foil World Championships in Buenos Aires the following year.
At Sydney Olympic Park he will meet fencers who recently competed successfully in the Asian Junior (Under 20) and Cadet (Under 17) Championships in Abu Dhabi. The Australians won team bronze medals in Cadet Women's Foil, Junior Women's Epee and Junior Men's Sabre.
Also joining them will be the Australian fencers who achieved a top 8 foil team placing in the World Junior Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Australian teams have been increasingly successful at Asian and World Championships in recent years.
The President of the Australian Fencing Federation, Andrew Ius, says: "It is encouraging to see the hard work of our athletes, their coaches and officials paying off with significant results in Asian and World championships. With dedication and a professional approach we can push on from here to reach the upper tiers of international fencing."
Australia's Foil and Sabre Coach, and NSW Head Coach, Antonio Signorello, says: "As we do in other sports, Australia has the potential to become a force in world fencing. We are well positioned in the Asian Zone which is now a rising powerhouse of world fencing challenging the traditional dominance of the Europeans. Our young fencers are learning the technical and tactical skills;
the mental agility and resilience to win the battle of the blades."
Mr Signorello is a former Italian Olympic team coach whose fencers have won Olympic and World Championship gold medals. He has practised in Australia since 2009 and is now an Australian citizen committed to advancing the standard of fencing at the highest competitive level as well as fostering grass roots development.

Thomas Bach will meet the Australian fencers at 3pm on Thursday 29 April at The Cauldron, Cathy Freeman Park, off Olympic Boulevard, Sydney Olympic Park.
