Last Tuesday- Sabre Fencing

I went for Fencing, the first in a long time.

I had stopped for my theatre production.

There were only a few of us at training now.

Lull season.


Then I heard news of the coming World Varsity Fencing Championships in August.

It's where the universities from around the world send their best teams to.

Singapore is sending a team.


For the foil event, all our national fencers are in NUS.

But for Sabre... All the top fencers are still in JC and Poly and Secondary School.

Which means, the top Sabre fencers cannot take part yet.

The playing field is small then, I don't need to be better than hundreds to win.


Selections will be in August, and due to the circumstances, there's hope.

Heh.


SMU and NTU, the only other Unis in Singapore with a fencing CCA, do not have a Sabre team.

So anyone they send for the event will only have trained with the weapon for a short while, having previously used other weapons.


Yeah we may suck, but we are the best there is.

Sure we'll get trashed at the international level, but hey... There is a chance of representing Singapore once in our lives.


Now this... is an interesting proposition.
