Olympics: Schoolgirl Fencer's Dream Begins With a Sponge Sword

 Olympics: Schoolgirl Fencer's Dream Begins With a Sponge Sword
(The above link will re-direct to the original article.)

I'm not sure why they wanted to emphasize the "sponge sword as a toddler" angle, but it is nice that a new generation is getting into the sport. I have always thought it interesting that there are those in countries like Japan, who wish to take up European-style fencing. They have their own forms with their own deep traditions.

I guess the fascination with other cultures and their ways is kind-of universal.

Enjoy the article!
