From the moment you became the President of the FIE , the NFF’s had new hopes and new open horizons, there have been cardinal changes for the better, meaning that you gave the FIE a second life.
The results of your innovative mindset and international fencing development programs speak for themselves.
Today, fencing takes a strong and worthy place among the Olympic sports thanks to you. Recently, the FIE ranking in the IOC, has risen several steps up and is one of the most promising Olympic sports.
