Alexandre Lyssov

Alexandre Lyssov (born March 10, 1994) is a Canadian épée fencer.

At the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore he became the first ever Canadian fencer to step onto the Olympic podium[1] and also the only fencer from Canada who won two Olympic branded medals.

[2] Alexandre started going for sports at age of eight and completely switched to fencing at age of eleven.

Initially he received instructions in foil and practised at community oriented clubs, but looking to gain a new level, he later switched to épée and continued his training under well known fencing masters.
