    Today I interview Momo Bertini, the defending junior world champion from Italy who just got his first senior world cup medal in the Salt Lake World Cup last weekend. We discuss how he was able to overcome his anxiety after a few disappointing seasons to be able to perform well, how he comes from a family of high level athletes, and various fencing topics in general.

    S02E06 Alexander Massialas

    In the 6th episode of season 2 of Chaos on the Strip, I talk to Alexander Massialas about his career. At the beginning of the 2024-2025 season Alexander made the surprising decision to become the head coach of the Stanford Fencing team while also continuing his personal competitive career. This has paid off well for him as he has won several FIE events since then, including his third Challenge International de Paris. We discuss all of that and more in this interview.

Entering the Fujairah Epee World Cup as the 59th seed, Conrad came out of nowhere to win the entire tournament.

    S2E02 Jerome Guth: Japanese Olympic Sabre Coach

    In the second episode of season two of Chaos On The Strip I talk to Jerome Guth, the current national sabre coach of Japan. During his time in Japan he has coached Emura Misaki to two World Championships titles, coached the women's team to an Olympic Bronze medal, and has coached his athletes in both genders to many more world cup, grand prix, and Asian Championship medals. Jerome has had an interesting path getting to Japan: after growing up fencing in France and deciding to quit fencing to go to school in America he randomly started coaching on the Penn State team before opening up a club in America then moving to Japan to become the national sabre coach there. As such his has a very multi-national perspective which makes him very interesting to talk to!
