Introduction
This competition seemed to come and go really quickly. We flew in relatively late the day before, went straight to weapons control and then to dinner. We flew back the evening after the fencing, so we were in Udine for probably less than 24 hours.
However, it was a great competion with a really high standard of fencing, plus plenty of emotions on display throughout the day from both the fencers and the coaches. As Junior World Cup events go, this has to be one of the best, if not the best in my opinion.

Venue
Palazzo per l’atletica indoor “Ovidio Bernes”
It’s a fantastic venue with a good space between the pistes, seating along the back with some food/drink on sale, but what really makes it is the big window with an amazing view out to the alps in the distance.

Hotels
I stayed at the Hotel Ramandolo which was around a ten minute walk from the venue. It did the job nicely. There were some restaurants and shops nearby which was handy. No complaints really, would stay there again if I was going to this competition.
