“It is a great honor for me to be re-elected to the post of FIE President with the support of our international fencing family,” the Federation's press service quotes Usmanov.

According to Usmanov, fencing as a global sport is stronger today than ever.

The FIE support programs have contributed to the dynamic development and popularity of fencing.

The elections took place at the organization's congress in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Usmanov was first elected president of the FIE in 2008.

Earlier it was reported that Russian epee fencers won the World Cup in Bern.
