The celebration is contagious! 🥳 #Paris2024 marked a historic moment for Mohamed El-Sayed as he won bronze and secured Egypt’s first-ever Olympic medal in épée fencing. 🥉 #Olympics #SummerOlympics #Fencing Video: https://twitter.com/olympics/status/2064739372218692055

I've been fencing épée for eight months now, and today is my first attempt at a competition where I'm not handed an advantage for being new to the sport.
My target is sufficiently modest I think - score one point on everyone I fence - and I think that's going to be tough given half the competitors are ranked in the low double-digits in the country for their age.
