Fechtclub Hallein shines at the Karl Perticka tournament and in Reutlingen

The Fecht Club Hallein was on the last Sunday and proved to be extremely active at two important events. While the young fencers in Pongau competed in the traditional Karl Perticka youth tournament, other members were also challenged at the international all -star Challenge in Reutlingen in Germany. Such events are important to discover and promote the talent of young athletes.

in St. Johann im Pongau gained the athletes of the Fecht Club Hallein first experience in their respective age groups. Alexander Guttmann, who started in the U12, is particularly noteworthy. He showed great achievements in the preliminary round, was able to win seven out of eight battles and was the first to be put into the KO competition. However, he came under pressure in an unusual favorite status, which limited his placement to fifth place. Nevertheless, this was a valuable experience for the young Bad Vigauner.
