The U.S. Olympic fencing team met with the media in New York to share details of their preparations for the Summer Olympics.
Amsterdam News has been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
Miles Chamley-Watson is headed to his third Olympics—having captured a bronze medal in the men’s foil team event in 2016. At 34, Chamley-Watson said that despite also finding success in the fashion/modeling world, he has found a new love for the sport. He acknowledged being a Black man in a predominantly white sport comes with unique pressure, but he sees that as a privilege.
“The style I developed in fencing is, I think, quite unique for a woman’s foil,” said the 21-year-old Scruggs. “I like competing, I like winning, I think it’s fun. … I think I bring a youthful energy to the squad. I’m a little silly, while some of the older fencers might be more serious, which is needed, obviously. It’s fun to compete with them.”
