At 12, Chris Holmes’s daughter was the top fencer in her age group in the country. Illustrations credit: Getty Images The Holmes family started their journey to the Olympic Games near their home in Washington, D.C. Enchanted by books about knights and squires, the elder of Holmes’ two daughters said she wanted to try fencing. (A wrinkle in NCAA regulations bars us from using her name here on GE Reports, but you can find her bio on Team USA’s fencing.) Holmes, who works as a business development manager with GE Grid Solutions, discovered that the local parks department had a fencing program run by renowned master swordsman Raymond Finkleman. So Holmes and his wife drove to Finkleman’s Chevy Chase Fencing Club for a look.

They found a bare-bones room with heavy rubber mats instead of regulation fencing strips. It wasn’t romantic, but it was a great training ground, and after just a few lessons it was clear to Holmes and his wife that their daughter had talent. She began spending most of her weekends and after-school hours in Finkleman’s unadorned gym.

Within six months, she was invited to compete in a tournament in Boston. Keen to keep their expectations in check, Holmes and his wife figured their little girl would do a few bouts and get tossed out. Instead, she finished third. “The hook was set,” Holmes recalls.

“She really enjoyed it.” At 12, she was the top fencer in her age group in the country. At 14, she began competing internationally, winning silver at her first world championships. The market for world-class sword-fighting skills isn’t what it used to be, so the Holmes family never let fencing undermine studies. When the annual fencing tournament schedule came out in August, Holmes recalls: “We’d go in and sit down with the dean and say, ‘Here’s when we’re going to be gone.’” But she took most of her academic tests early. Though the fencer missed 30 days of school her senior year, she graduated with honors and is now completing a university degree in neuroscience.
