Alon Sarid Wins Silver at the European Fencing Championships

Alon Sarid, a 20-year-old Israeli epee fencer, won silver on Tuesday night and became European runner-up in the senior category after an outstanding competition day.

Sarid, who represents the School of Fencing club, achieved what the report called a historic result and finished with an emotional silver medal.

He is only the third Israeli fencer ever to medal in the individual event at the senior European Championships. The two previous medalists were Noam Mills, an Olympic epee fencer, who won bronze in 2010, and Yuval Freilich, an Olympic epee fencer, who won gold and was crowned European champion in 2019.

The Israel Fencing Association said it was proud and excited by the milestone, and expressed deep appreciation to Sarid and his coaching staff for their dedication, investment, and years of nonstop work. The report was published by Sport 5 on June 17, 2026, at 00:24.
