Peter Friis and George P. Koch attended the past in the open Berlingske veteran championships, which is a large vintage car event attended by the best German veteranfægtere. Both fencers had a medal to take home. Peter Friis was No. 1 on Epee 60 + and George P. Kock No. 3 Fleuren 60 +. The fine results bode well for the upcoming World Cup veteran, held in September in Porec.

Peter Friis reports the following:
We got some great results when "Offene Berliner Seniorenmeisterschaften". The nice result for me, 11 matches without defeat, gave a good feeling. Opponents were konkurrencefægtere that I've met through the years and several of them running for the World Cup in Croatia.

It was important for me to have Ferenc with - it gave me peace to concentrate on what I was there for, namely fencing. Preparation up to fence off was driven by Ferenc: We were early opppe, at. 6.00. I ate some fruit and we were in a fencing hall one hour before the fence starts. 40 min before starting a lesson, which gave a good feeling with a fencing sword. So break 20 min. After that match training with a volunteer opponent 10 min. After a short break I was ready for the first opponent. Berlin is always worth a visit!
