CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 5-11, 2019—The Veteran Fencing World Championships in Cairo have finished after seven days of enthusiastic individual and team competition featuring 699 fencers in their 50s, 60s, and 70s-plus from five continents. Taking place at the Cairo Stadium Indoor Halls Complex, 24 events were held overall in foil, epee and sabre. The USA led the medal count with six golds, followed by Great Britain and Italy with four each; in all, 13 countries earned at least one medal.
Overall, this year 46 federations were represented from five continental regions, and FIE referees from nine federations officiated. This was the second time a Veteran Fencing World Championship competition has been hosted in Africa. In 1997, a veteran men’s epee demonstration event was held at the Senior Fencing World Championships in Cape Town, South Africa.
