Not political victory this time, but in fencing. For the first time in years, I won a trophy: with Max Weedon and John Routledge winning the men’s foil Team event. I was placed 8th in the individual event, defeating John Pryor and Richard Biggs after a bye into the second round of the direct elimination, but losing to former Olympian Nick Bell in the last eight. In fencing the last eight is ‘the finals’, which brings my tally of medals for the last year to 5. Not a bad haul.
