Open du Port de la Lune, day one - longsword. Today I took part in a tournament in Bordeaux, France, organised by Batesta Bordeaux. In the pool I performed very well, having only a single point scored against me, winning all four bouts. However, the elimination (which 16 fencers of 34 in total advanced to) was much more difficult. All the bouts were super close, and I could have lost in each one of it, but that did not happen, and I won the whole tournament and claimed the gold medal 🥇. I am very happy about it, and I look forward to the second day when there will be saber and sword & buckler tournaments. I can only hope to be similarly lucky.
