GB fencer, 17, targeting Olympic goals after scooping hat-trick of Commonwealth medals

Young fencer Hannah LeBor is making waves throughout British fencing.

Aged just 17 the Londoner secured a remarkable hat-trick of medals for England at the Commonwealth Championships in August. She took gold in the Cadet (under-17s) Women’s Epee Individual event and was also the youngest member of the Junior (under-20s) Women’s Epee team that also took gold. Her third medal came in the form of silver in the Cadet Women’s Epee team category.

If that recent run of success wasn’t enough, LeBor managed to add another title to her name as she became Junior Epee National Champion two weeks ago. Quite simply, this fencer is one to watch and she has a drive you’d struggle to find in most other 17-year-olds.
