Fencing in India started with the foundation of the Fencing Association of India in 1974. It was recognized by the Indian Government in 1997.[1] It is affiliated with the Indian Olympic Association, Fencing Confederation of Asia, Commonwealth Fencing Federation and the International Fencing Federation.[2] India has produced some international level fencers who have performed well over the years.[3]

Background

[edit]

The association has been holding national competitions in Sub-Junior (1999), Cadet (2004), Junior (1992) and Senior (1986) categories.[4]

In 2016, at the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championships in Damam, Saudi Arabia, the Indian contingent won two silver and three bronze medals.[5] In the individual events, 17-year-old Karan Singh clinched bronze in the Junior Boys Sabre event while SN Siva Magesh, 14, won silver in the Cadet Boys Épée event. This was the first time that India won a medal in the Junior category.[6]

In May 2017, India's C. A. Bhavani Devi won the gold medal in the sabre event of the Turnoi Satellite Fencing Championship held at Reykjavík in Iceland and became the first Indian to win a gold medal in an international fencing event. Shilpa Garg had previously won a silver medal in a satellite event.[7]
