Not much interest in fencing in these parts but there is a tendency to like seeing the national teams do well. And I'm finding myself a little giddy at this news this morning. 

The US Men's Foil Team is World Champions. Beating Russia in the semifinals and France for the title. 

“We just knew it was going to be a fight. From the very beginning, they came at us aggressively off the bat, but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire and every time they hit back, we hit back even harder,” Massialas said.

Congratulations!!!
