Sport Specific Information

Why this sport? "I did some fencing in primary and secondary school but not a huge amount. But in the sports programme at College Brebeuf [his school in Montreal, QC, Canada], we had the choice of four sports, fencing being one of them. At first I chose basketball, but my brother used to practise fencing and told me about it, so I switched. At first, I wasn't serious, but when I started to get good results, I quit my other sports to focus on fencing. The sabre is favoured by those who like speed, sprinting and fast action - there is more energy. Your personality will make you choose your discipline."
