Siobhán aims to be a cut above the rest

Q You compete tomorrow in the individual sabre competition. How does it differ from the others?

A “THERE are three categories in fencing: sabre, epee and foil. Sabre is the only weapon where you use the edge of the sword to hit your opponent. We don’t have a tip on our sabres as you do in the other disciplines. It is the fastest weapon of them all and it is a very aggressive style.
