Seriously?  You think an Olympic sport is "not that hard to get good at"?  The top high school fencers spend 20-30 hours a week training, AND have to travel to six North American Cups a year to compete, AND have to travel to 4-7 Cadet and Junior World Cups in Europe each year, where they compete against the best European fencers (where fencing is taken very seriously), all while maintaining full high school schedules, taking AP classes, etc.[/quote]

A Notre Dame fencer was the first to win gold this year.

That’s wonderful! Only a few kids are able to win gold, silver or bronze medals at international and national competitions. No wonder why top universities want to recruit them. This is for any sports, not just fencing. Even Squash is a very expensive sport. Does it has the same potential like fencing, if the kid is a winner in competitions? [/quote]
