Fencing

Fencer Nathalie Moellhausen, the 2019 World Fencing Champion, did not do well in her debut, being beaten by Ruien Xiao, from Canada, by 15 to 11. The note of regret is that the 38-year-old Brazilian felt ill during and after the fight, and needed medical attention. In February, she discovered a benign tumor in the region of her coccyx and has been feeling pain.
