USA’s Fencing Squad Shattering “Five Years Streak”

The USA’s hosting has been fortunate for its fencing team as, from Day 1 of the event, they have been continuously under the spotlight. Similarly, the USA’s Men’s Vet Fencer’s team has clinched the gold medal in the Vet Men’s Saber Championship. In a recent story shared by USA Fencing on their Instagram handle, it was captioned, ” Team USA’s gold medal in the Vet Men’s Saber Team Event ensa a run of five straight for Italy, which has won in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022.”  

On the other hand, Team Italy’s Vet Fencers has always been a center of attraction in world championships. However, something unexpected happened this year as they lost their 6th year in the streak. Although they have been champions for the past five years, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022, they could not secure the place this time. 

Team USA’s fencers last held the title of World Champions in the same event in 2015 and 2016. However, the championship didn’t occur in 2020 and 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the USA’s fencing legends made a major comeback. In addition, the Men’s Vet Saber team featured remarkable talents, Steve Dashnaw, Garik Gutman, Steven Heck, Mark Lundborg, Joseph Streb, and Ron Thornton, who displayed their prowess in the arena. With this being said, how does Team USA look to make a change?
