Dan Podeanu (born 7 February 1952 in Poroina Mare) is a Romanian fencing master, coach to the Romanian women's épée team.

Career[edit]

Podeanu was born in Mehedinți County, but his parents moved to Craiova when he was seven.[1] After playing swords with other children at the park he took up fencing proper at the age of twelve. He also played basketball at school. As a fencer he won two titles of national champion of Romania in the junior category and one in the senior category. He also was Balkanic champion.

Podeanu ended his career as an athlete when he was 26 and became a fencing coach. In 1995 the Olympic Centre for épée was opened in Cariova and in 1997 Podeanu became national coach for the women's épée team.

For this performance Brânză was named female Olympic athlete of the year by the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee and the Romanian Ministry of Youth and Sport, while Podeanu was named Olympic coach of the year.[2]

Alessio Foconi (born 22 November 1989) is an Italian foil fencer.

Career[edit]

Born in Rome, Foconi took up fencing in Terni, Umbria. He was coached in his formative years by Filippo Romagnoli and Giulio Tomassini.

In 2008 he created an upset at the Espinho World Cup after defeating Renal Ganeyev, Ruslan Nasibulin and Choi Byung-chul. He was stopped in the semifinals by fellow countryman and team Olympic champion Simone Vanni and came away with a bronze medal.[3] The next year he won a team bronze medal at the Junior European Championships in Amsterdam and an individual bronze and a team gold at the Junior World Championships in Belfast.

In 2010–11 he took another World Cup bronze, this time at the Shanghai Grand Prix, and finished the season 25th in the world rankings. He did not qualify to the 2012 Summer Olympics, but maintained his Top 25 ranking. In 2013 he won the Italian championship after defeating Valerio Aspromonte in the final.[4]

In the 2014–15 season Foconi bounced back in the World Cup circuit by posting a quarter-final finish in the Paris World Cup,[5] then a bronze medal in the Löwe von Bonn.[6]
