Sean and Gav discuss the sport the love - the Olympic sport of fencing

    And It's Goodbye From Us

    And It's Goodbye From Us

    All good things must come to an end and this is also true of The Fencing Podcast. This is our final episode and, in truth, there is very little chat about actual fencing but we hope you enjoy it anyway.

    Episode 65 Olympics Preview

    Gav updates us on his travel plans and his vital contribution to the Games. Kate, Gav and Sean put their heads together to make their predictions for the Tokyo Olympics and find that they are, disconcertingly, often in agreement. We also find that the Prediction Game that we’re playing against each other brings out our worst competitive instincts. We’d love to hear your predictions and the thinking behind them (see the description below and email: thefencingpodcast@gmail.com) The team also reveal the other sports that they’re looking forward to watching.

    Episode 63: Ruthless Serial Winners

    Episode 63: Ruthless Serial Winners

    Sean talks a load of foil (Kate and Gav get to chip in occasionally) as the action heads to Doha for the foil Grand Prix. The return of the game (foil, obviously) and while there were a lot of early departures, there were also a lot of familiar faces at the end of the day. Olympic places were decided, some big names miss out. Gav shares some horrifying mental images early in the episode so make sure you're sitting down. Good times and sad times for British Fencing.

    An Abundance of Epee

    An Abundance of Epee

    In this episode the team discuss a week of epee… well almost. It took several days for the final Epee world cup in Kazan to run! And as you’d expect in this era it was carnage. Gav gets very excited about the mens epee team final, quite right too. Kate even admits she watched some of it!

    Episode 61: All The Sabre Dudes

    Episode 61: All The Sabre Dudes

    Kate, Gav and Sean actually have some real, live fencing to talk about!! Budapest saw international fencing return with a men's and women's sabre World Cup and it was glorious. Everything you could have asked for including more Olympic qualification, some surprises, a few absentees, additional face masks and potentially some Olympic dress rehearsals.

Really useful insight

That’s chaps for this pod cast, the matches you suggest to watch are really handy. Especially when new fencers ask me what they should be watching in the fencing world. (Saves me an awful lot of time!) keep it up!

A great insight into the world of fencing.

Fantastic insight and opinion.

An excellent podcast with very knowledgable and entertaining insight. Sean and Gavin are passionate about what makes fencing such a great sport yet not afraid to call it when it's out of line. Great stuff.
