Another incredible weekend of Fencing for Brooklyn is in the books as we celebrated Olympic Day! 🎖️

We were honored to welcome 3-time Olympian and Olympic silver medalist Keeth Smart, who shared his inspiring journey from Brooklyn to the Olympic podium with our young athletes. A special thank you as well to our dear friend and Olympian Nicole Ross for joining us and making the day even more memorable.

Our athletes left inspired, motivated, and reminded that big dreams can start right here in Brooklyn. Looking forward to the remaining sessions this summer! 🤺🙌🏾
