Albert Axelrod 1921-2004
.
Axelrod was one of the greatest American fencers in history and was a
member of five consecutive U.S. Olympic foil teams (a 20-year span!).
Nicknamed "Albie," his first appearance in the Olympics came at the 1952
Helsinki Games, when he competed in both the team and individual foil
events. While the U.S. team reached the quarterfinals before being
eliminated, Axelrod reached the semifinals in the individual foil, where
he finished in fourth place in his pool (the first three finishers
advanced to the finals).

In the mid-1950s, Albert was one of the best fencers in the world and
was ranked No. 1 in the United States in 1955, 1958, 1960, and 1970. He
was ranked in the U.S. top ten from 1942-1970, missing three years
during World War II for military service. Albert won the gold medal in
team foil at the 1959 and 1963 Pan American Games. He also won silver
medals in the team and individual foil at the 1955 Pan American Games,
and the individual foil at the 1959 and 1963 Pan Am Games. Besides
competing in five Olympiads, Albert also competed in six Maccabiah
Games, beginning in 1957.

Albert Axelrod passed away on February 24, 2004. Albie was one of the
greatest competitors of his or any generation, whose results as a
foilist have yet to be surpassed. His contributions - as a coach, team
leader and manager, and editor of American Fencing - are hallmarks of
his life-long dedication to our sport. He will be missed.

the zonal spot for the Olympic Games.

US Men's Sabre Team Qualifies

Based on the results from the final Team World Cup held 2/21 in
Eislingen, Germany, the United States was able to claim a spot in the
2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

The United States team finished 12th at the event, the result didn't
impact the standings. The closest team in the US zone was Canada, which
had no chance to catch up to the US so they didn't send a team to
participate.

The top 4 teams gain automatic berths in the team event in Athens. The
remaining 4 slots are earned by the top team in each region: Europe, the
Americas, Africa, and Asia.
