Sorry no pictures today, at the critical moment found the camera not working. After disassembly then putting it all back together again it is now working. Sadly this was after all the Kiwi fencers had ended their day. Pics for sure tomorrow.
On the piste for competition Day 3 will be Sally McCance in Women's Foil along with William Cowper and Aidan Taylor in Men's Sabre.
