For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games
A father and son are competing on the same teams. Edwardo Prieto Souza, 50 years of age and his son Edwardo Prieto Lopez age 20 are both members of the Mexican sword team. They are the oldest and youngest of the squad of 48 Mexican athletes now quartered in the Olympic Village. The elder Souza explained that his son had a different last name for the reason that in Mexico the children take the name of their father and then add their mother's name.

En Garde! — J. Joseph-Renaud The article, written by Robert Dieudonné, celebrates the life and achievements of J. Joseph-Renaud, a distinguished French fencer and versatile sportsman. Joseph-Renaud is portrayed as a master of multiple disciplines, not only excelling in fencing but also in boxing, pistol shooting, jiu-jitsu, and other forms of self-defense. His reputation in fencing is unrivaled, and his approach to the sport is described as both scientific and artistic, blending physical prowess with intellectual strategy. The article highlights his unique ability to combine sportsmanship with literary finesse, often likening his fencing to writing, where each move reflects careful thought and precision. Despite his many successes, Joseph-Renaud is depicted as humble and peaceful in everyday life, a man driven by passion rather than vanity. His legacy is framed as that of both an athlete and a writer, blending the worlds of sport and literature seamlessly.

Escrime pour Dames The text offers an exploration of women throughout history who have engaged in sword fighting and dueling, focusing not only on military figures but also those who took up arms for personal or recreational reasons. It references historical examples like Roman patrician women who fought in circuses, noblewomen in medieval Italy and Germany, and dueling princesses in 18th-century France. Anecdotes of famous female duelists such as Mademoiselle de Maupin, who led a life of flamboyant swordsmanship, and the scandalous duels involving aristocratic women in Paris are highlighted. The text also introduces Madame Astié de Valsayre, a 19th-century advocate for women's fencing, who famously dueled with an American woman and campaigned for fencing as a form of physical and moral regeneration for women. Despite fencing's decline in popularity among women by the end of the 19th century, the text suggests that it remains an elegant and beneficial sport, with historical and contemporary examples of women engaging in it. Finally, it encourages a revival of female participation in fencing as a sport that enhances both physical grace and beauty.
