Women's Sabre

Sept 29, 2007

St Petersburg

Welcome to our first full day of fencing at the 2007 St. Petersburg World Championships! We will present news and results in this space, and our cell phone subscribers will get the day's winner as an SMS message!

While we're waiting for the action to commence, why not visit Bill Ward's review of the 2006-2007 women's sabre season, on Bill's Blog. He is somewhat familiar with sabre -- he even knows the world champion. Videographer, fencing parent, blogger -- you might remember him from our coverage last year at Turino. We are happy to present Bill's Blog again this year.

See also the top competitor rankings from Sept 07 , and the gallery of women sabreists you need to be familiar with.
