This weekend, Vancouver (Canada) hosted the world fencing cup among men.
Recall that yesterday Uzhgorod fencer Anatoliy Herey was eighth in the individual championship.
In the team competition, our fellow together with Bohdan Nikishin (Dnipro), Maxim Khvorost (Kharkiv) and Volodymyr Stankevich Jr. won silver medals!
First, our fencers defeated the team of Estonia – 45:26, then Israel – 45:40.
In the semifinal, Ukrainian team fenced with Italians. The match was tough and tense. Anatoliy managed to change the course of the match and increased our team’s advantage. In the last duel Bohdan Nikishin beat Ficerra – 40:39!
In the final, they fenced with the Czechs, who had deafeated the number one in the world ranking – the French team. The outcome of the match was decided in the final duel Nikishin-Pokorny. The Czechs celebrated victory – 35:40.
However, this is a good result for Ukraine. Recall that in Heidenheim, Herey, Nikishin, Khvorost and Stankevich won bronze medals.
