The FIE Veteran Fencing Roundtable takes place on 8 October at 15:00 at the Hualing Hotel in Tbilisi, right before the Veteran World Championships!🤺

The theme is "Fencing for Life: Building Veteran Fencing Around the World," and the goal is practical: how to keep fencers 40+ in the sport, and how to bring back the many former fencers who want to return but are held back by equipment, coaching, facilities or travel costs.

On the programme:

🔹Speakers from Europe, Africa and the Americas on where veteran fencing stands in their regions
🔹A new "How to Build a Veteran Fencing Programme" handbook
🔹The launch of the Donate Your Fencing Gear initiative
🔹A proposed pilot for Veteran World Cups within the Continental Zones

📨 You don't need an established veteran programme to take part. Federations just starting out may well have the most useful questions.

If you work in a national federation, coach veterans or compete yourself, please join us!

The FIE and IOC recently held an educational webinar focused on preventing competition manipulation in fencing 🤺

Delivered by the IOC’s Olympic Movement Unit on the Prevention of the Manipulation of Competitions (OM Unit PMC), the session gave participants practical information on how to recognise warning signs, prevent improper activity and report concerns.

The webinar covered:
🤺 How competition manipulation happens and who may be involved
⚠️ How fixers can approach athletes and officials
🔎 Warning signs and potential vulnerabilities
🚨 The sporting, criminal and reputational consequences
📣 How to report concerns through the appropriate channels

With less than one month to go until Dakar 2026, participants were also introduced to the IOC’s “Mastering Your Sporting Journey” e-learning course, which covers competition manipulation, safeguarding, mental health and anti-doping.

What does an Olympian tell a young fencer who is just getting started?🤺

For Alaaeldin Abouelkassem 🇪🇬, Azza Besbes 🇹🇳, Alexandre Bouzaid 🇸🇳 and Daryl Homer 🇺🇸, the answer was simple: keep going.

The four Olympians joined the Fencing for the Future Training Camp in Dakar to spend time on the piste with young fencers and, just as importantly, share the parts of their own journeys that are rarely visible from the outside.

They spoke about starting without access to essential equipment, dealing with painful setbacks, finding confidence through sport and staying committed when the road ahead is not straightforward.

And the inspiration went both ways.🫂

“It’s really the kids that are here at the camp that inspired us,” said Azza Besbes.

Alaaeldin, Azza, Alexandre and Daryl, thank you for giving these young fencers more than a training session. You gave them your stories, your time and a glimpse of where fencing can take them❤️
