Tatiana Nazlymov

Clubs: Nazlymov Fencing Foundation
Coaches: Fikrat Valiyev and Vitali Nazlymov
Origin story: "Both my father and grandfather were fencers, so when I was little, I would goof around with them at the gym. I've been fencing ever since."
Why I love fencing: "It's such an individual sport, which gives me a sense of freedom. The intense mental and physical preparation makes me the best version of myself."
Advice: "Never focus on results. You can only control your training and how hard you work, everything else will come."
Notable results: 

• Gold medalist, 2023 Pan-American Senior Championships (women's saber team)
• Silver medalist, 2023 Plovdiv Junior Women's Saber World Cup
