From CEM to the Fencing World Cup in Cairo
Last weekend (April 10th and 11th) the Cadet and Junior Fencing World Cup was held in the city of Cairo. Three shooters from our club (CELC) were selected:
- Claudia Arribas
- Guillermo Juanes
- Álvaro Fernández Calleja
The results were incredible, after a year without competing internationally they left everything on the track to be the pride of our club and Spain.
In the junior event Claudia Arribas ranked fifth in the world, after defeating shooters from countries such as Austria, Korea or France.
Already in the team event, Claudia Arribas, Dana Raposo, Nicole Lixandru and Paula Zugasti, climbed the podium obtaining the silver medal, leaving behind the United Arab Emirates, the powerful USA, the Colombian team and the hosts, the Egyptian team.
Undoubtedly a historic medal for the Spanish female sword.
