SOLT LEJK SITI, Juta — Zaustavite nas ako ste ovo već čuli: Hadley Husisian (Fencers Club Inc. & Elite Fencing Academy) je tvoj Odsek I Ženski Epee nacionalni šampion.
Husisianova pobeda u petak, drugi dan aprilskog Severnoameričkog kupa, Divizije I Nacionalnog šampionata i Parafencing nacionalnog šampionata, poklapa se sa njenim rezultatom iz 2023. u Sent Luisu. Ona je sada osvojila tri od prethodne četiri nacionalne titule u toj disciplini.
Dok je branilac titule uvek favorit na turniru naredne godine, Husisian se trudio da ne razmišlja o šansama.
„To je veoma jedan po jedan dodir, jedan po jedan udarac“, kaže ona. „To je uvek način na koji pokušavam da pristupim stvarima. I pretpostavljam da je uspelo za danas. (Ponavljajući) je, naravno, bio cilj — ali nisam hteo da dozvolim sebi da razmišljam na taj način.“
U Odseku I Muška folija, Samarth Kumbla (New York Athletic Club & Silicon Valley Fencing Center) ugrabio svoj prvi nacionalni šampionat u karijeri — odbivši neverovatno uspešan mesec aprila. Kumbla se sveže vratio iz Rijada u Saudijskoj Arabiji, gde je osvojio pojedinačnu bronzanu i timsku zlatnu medalju na Svetskom prvenstvu u juniorskom i kadetskom mačevanju 2024.
„To su bile samo godine napornog rada“, kaže Kumbla o svom nizu uspeha. „Vežbati svaki dan, ostati motivisan, ostati dosledan i posvećen sportu.“
Međutim, čak i dok uspeh poboljšava njegovu notornost u sportu i plasman, Kumbla zna da ne treba da bude samozadovoljan.
„Znam da su svi pretnja“, kaže on. „I nijedna borba nije laka. Preterano samopouzdanje vam jednostavno neće pomoći.“
Geret Šonover (Salt City Swords Fencing Club) nije bio preterano samouveren ulaskom u takmičenje Parafencing Men’s Epee — i to sa dobrim razlogom. Nije ogradio epee šest meseci.
„Došao sam danas baš kao, biće ono što će biti“, kaže. „Ali ovde sam da se zabavim.“
Šonover smatra da je folija njegovo bolje oružje, što dodatno doprinosi izazovu dok se takmiči u tom oružju u subotu — nešto više od 12 sati nakon što je pokupio svoju zlatnu medalju.
Da bi pomogao svom umu i telu da pređu sa jednog oružja na drugo, Šonover je prešao sa upotrebe prianjanja pištolja za oba oružja na samo korišćenje pištolja u foliji.
„Odavno sam naučio da fizički signali zaista pomažu“, kaže. „To mi je dalo to fizičko odvajanje od folije. Kada pokupim svoju epee sa francuskim stiskom, znam da mačevala epee.“
U parafencingu Ženskog Epeea, Jataya Taylor (Denver Fencing Center & Invictus Fencing) postao je ponovljeni nacionalni šampion. Kaže da je dosta porasla u godini od svoje poslednje nacionalne titule u epeu (i foliji).
„Bilo je neverovatno jer svi kažu da je ovo aktivan šah, ali ja to nikada nisam dobila“, kaže ona. „Ali sada se fokusiram na to da zapravo razmišljam o onome što radim umesto da samo reagujem. I to je promenilo moju igru.“
I u Odseku I Ženska Sablja, Maia Chamberlain (Manhattan Fencing Center) morao da prevaziđe drugačiji tip izazova: mačevanje prijatelja. U finalu se suočila sa saigračem sa Prinstona i prijateljem Chloe Fox-Gitomer.
„Samo moram da se fokusiram na svoje mačevanje i na to koje akcije želim da radim i budem nemilosrdan“, kaže Čemberlen. „Ali иim se borba gotova, kao, idemo na veиeru kasnije. Posle toga je sve u redu.“
U timu Divizije I Muška sablja, Fondacija Piter Vestbruk je bila dominantna, ali je prošle godine tim iz Njujorškog atletskog kluba izašao sa pobedom.
Ovogodišnji kvartet Deril Homer OLY, Nazir Primus, Noah Te Velde I Khalil Thompson OLY vratili su se da pokušaju da povrate nagradu. Upravo to su i uradili — obezbeđivanje 15. Prvi je došao 1997.
Primus, koji ima 16 godina, jedan je od novih PWF mačevaoca koji se pridružio toj impresivnoj zaostavštini.
„Prilično je sjajan osećaj pridružiti se i biti deo toga duže vreme“, kaže on. „Moj savet je samo da saslušate ljude koji su uz vas, jer su mi svi ti momci pomogli u praksi i slušam šta govore i uzimam informacije iz onoga što govore — i to mi je mnogo pomoglo.“
