[Title] => Kazakhs regain epee title; China picks up 6th gold
[Summary] => Kazakhstan foiled the Chinese domination of the Sharp Asian Fencing Championships as it regained the men’s team epee crown yesterday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Led by individual epee silver and bronze medallists Sergey Shabalin and Alexander Acanov, respectively, the Kazakhs smashed the Iranians, 45-35, in the finals to bag the gold medal they lost to the Chinese in last year’s edition of the event in Bangkok, Thailand.

[Title] => Last RP bet foiled; China reigns
[Summary] => Powerhouse China bulldozed its way to a fourth gold medal by winning the men’s sabre event, taking out top RP bet Wally Mendoza in the process yesterday at the end of all individual events in the Sharp Asian Fencing Championships at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Despite sending only its juniors squad, the Chinese proved they could compete with their older foes with Zhong Man and Cai Lin edging their Iranian opponents to set up an all-Chinese finals that virtually ensured them of a fourth gold medal in this eight-day event sponsored by Sharp.

[Title] => RP fencers bow out in Day One
[Summary] => Team Philippines struggled in the wake of the foreign bets’ romp in the Sharp Asian Fencing Championships, losing all its matches in the epee events at the start of the event yesterday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Harlene Orendain and Melly Joyce Angeles put up a gallant stand but were simply overpowered by their fancied rivals and bowed right after the round-of-16 of this week-long event sponsored by Sharp and organized by the Philippine Amateur Fencing Association (PAFA) headed by Celso Dayrit.

[Title] => Olympic dream vanishes for all Pinoy fencers
[Summary] => Filipino Walbert Mendoza was in the threshold of realizing an Olympic dream but absorbed a heart-breaking 14-15 decision to Kazakh Eugeny Frolov yesterday in their semifinal duel in the Asia-Oceania Olympic Fencing Qualifier at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Mendoza, eyeing no less than a stint in the Athens Olympiad, fought back from 0-4 down, bucked a strained left arm to force a 14-all tie and thought he had completed the stirring come-from-behind victory with a key hit.

[Title] => Olympics slots eespadahin ng Pinoy fencers
[Summary] => Pangungunahan ng double Southeast Asian Games men’s sabre gold medalist Wally Mendoza ang limang iba pang Filipino fencers na mag-tatangkang makasungkit ng Olympic slots sa Sharp Asian Championship at Olympic qualifying competition sa Abril 19-26 sa PhilSports Arena sa Pasig City.
Nakilala si Mendoza nang kanyang talunin ang Sydney Olympic bronze winner na si Kothny Wiradech ng Thailand, nagwagi rin siya sa Kuala Lumpur at sa Vietnam SEAG kung saan tumapos ito ng ikaanim na puwesto sa Busan Asian Games noong 2002.

[Title] => RP fencers claim 11 of 12 golds
[Summary] => Only one of 12 gold medals staked in the sixth Southeast Asian Fencing Championships that wrapped up Saturday in Kuala Lumpur slipped the hands of Filipino fencers but the overall crown the country retained has stirred a campaign that is starting to worry RP officials.
At least two countries have expressed interest in hiring the Philippines’ topnotch coaches with the intent of toppling the Filipinos not only from their perch in the sport’s regional championships but also in the Southeast Asian Games, particularly next year in Vietnam.
