Swiss Fencers Prepare for Competitive Season in Casablanca
Less than three months after the World Championships marked the conclusion of the previous season, fencers are already preparing to return to the competitive arena. This early return to action is set to take place in Casablanca, where notable Swiss fencer Lucas Malcotti will not be in attendance. The upcoming event serves as the first significant milestone of the 2026/2027 season, gathering some of the world’s top épée fencers for an exciting showcase of talent.
The stakes are high for the Swiss team as they embark on this new season, especially with the Olympic qualification process looming on the horizon starting next year. The Swiss men's épée team, currently ranked at the top of the global hierarchy, has much to defend as they aim to maintain their prestigious status in the sport. Valaisan fencers Lucas Malcotti and Alexis Bayard recently discussed their summer experiences, which were notably different from one another, alongside their preparations for the upcoming competitions. Their insights shed light on the varying paths they have taken as athletes, particularly as they approach this critical phase of their careers.
