Emmanuel reaches the Last 8 at the Veteran World Championships

Emmanuel Therond has reached the Last 8 of the Veterans World Championships in Daytona, Florida.

Emmanual sadly lost out to Frenchman Olivier Esquerre with a final score of 6 – 10.

A hard-fought fight with an initial advantage going to Olivier. Emmanual fought back with some stunning parries but alas it was not quite enough to overcome him. Emmanuel finishes 7th Overall in the Vet-50 Men’s Sabre.

You can see a video of the match below.

Well done Emmanual. A fantastic achievement.
