Right now I fence for the U.S.A. I've been to some North American world cups. This last years world cup made it clear that I would like to fence for Canada. (There are no rules about living in the country you fence for) At the last world cup I had to fence agianst both Canada, US and one guy from Germany. The Canadians had the best sportsmanship that I have ever seen in the sport. That day my equipment happened to be right by where the Canadian team had theirs. I quickly found myself laughing and have a wonderful time just talking to them. The five of them happened to be the nicest group of fencers I have met so far at world cups. A couple of weeks ago I go to another comp. (it's a bit smaller then the cups) Some Canadians I'd never seen before showed up. Agian they had the best sportsmanship.
....If I joined the Canadian Fencing league I'd be able to compete in both U.S. and Canadian world cups. (More fencing YAY!) I was just wondering what all of your thoughts are about something like this.
(Please don't burn me to badly. Ilove the US and still compete in the USTA and haven't thought about another country for that sport....just fencing)
