More than 20 nationalities were represented during this event, which is one of the largest European competitions for the veteran category. Bruce Dickinson has been fencing for 50 years. When he was younger, he even trained alongside the British Olympic team.

Congratulations to the leaders and volunteers“, he said. The municipal police were also present to secure this prestigious visit.
