Cadets and Juniors make final preparations in Senior World Cup events
Less than a week before the Cadet and Junior World Championships start in Belfast some of the competitors have been preparing themselves by fencing in recent senior World Cup events.
In women's epee Ricarda Multerer (GER) was the highest placed junior competitor at 12th in last weekend's Souvenir J Nowara World Cup in Luxembourg with Yana Zvereva (RUS) an impressive 3rd in the Moscow Region World Cup in Russia the previous weekend. Both are competing in the Junior women's epee event.
In men's epee no less than five cadets and juniors made the last 64 in the Heidenheimer Pokal World Cup in Germany last weekend. Coming out on top at 41st was Germany's Richard Schmidt with fellow cadet Nikolaus Bodoczi, also from Germany, coming 64th. Ayman Alaa El Din Fayz (EGY), Benjamin Cremer (GER) and Andrei Timoce (ROU) all also made the 64 and will be competing in the junior men's epee in Belfast.
Finally, the women's foilists have also been in action with Shiho Nishioka (JPN) coming 16th in last weekend's Challenge Jeanty Grand Prix, Marseille, France. There was also success for juniors and cadets in the previous weekend's Coupe du Monde in Turin. Italy's Martina Batini finished 8th with cadets Olga Calissi and Alice Volpi finishing 20th and 26th respectively. Both are also from Italy and Volpi is competing in both cadet and junior events in Belfast.
