Carolina Stutchbury, Britain’s top women’s foilist, transfers to USA Fencing to pursue Olympic ambitions.
19 year old Carolina Stutchbury, Great Britain’s highest World Ranked fencer and current European silver medallist has announced her intention to transfer to USA Fencing as she pursues her Olympic ambitions.
Speaking about the transfer Carolina said, “I want to express my sincere gratitude for the support British Fencing has given me throughout my career. Representing Great Britain and winning medals under the GBR banner has been a privilege, and I am proud of what we have achieved together. I have lived in the U.S. for much of my life and plan to remain here long term; the upcoming LA Games is a unique opportunity to realise my ambition to fence as part of a team in the Olympics.”
Georgina Usher, BF CEO said, “We want to say thank you to Carolina for everything that she has brought to our GBR squad over the years. It has been a pleasure to support her through her pathway journey, and we are extremely proud of all the medals she has won along the way. We understand that, at this time, the USA provides senior athletes with a level of support and host nation opportunities to compete at the next Olympic Games which are not currently available to GBR athletes. Working with UK Sport and other partners (eg the British Fencing Charity) we are looking how we can increase support to our GBR senior athletes in the future. In the meantime, we wish Carolina success in achieving her goals and ambitions.”
