French fencing in the midst of a crisis: “If the climate is tense like this until the Olympics…”. The three main French swordsmen Romain Cannone, Yannick Borel and Alexandre Bardenet deplored in an interview with L'Equipe the tensions with their management and the retention in the staff of Hugues Obry, their ex-manager.

Former swordsman Rémy Delhomme, today a fencing master in Saint-Gratien and candidate for president of the federation, calls for things to be calmed down.
