After his win, Jaimie said:
“Really delighted to have retained the title at this year’s Amsterdam Satellite – which I understand was the biggest Satellite ever, with 210 fencers competing. I felt confident in my fencing throughout the day, and it’s a great way to start the season. Excited to see what the rest of the year brings!
“A huge thank you to the Men’s Foil and Women’s Foil squad for their support, to the organisers and everyone working behind the scenes for running such a smooth competition, and of course to my dad/coach for always being there.”
