An invitation and a resume from the previous competition follows:

Welcome to the tournament 52. "Weißer Bär von Berlin"!

All U23 fencers are invited to take the chance to meet world champions, olympic participants as well as fencers like you and me. Get experienced and make some points for the european ranking. We are expecting about 250 Fencers from 30 nations.

The fights will start on 24 planches simultaneously. The finals will take place in the historical Kuppelsaal, where 1936 fencers have been fighting for olympic medals and the famous Helene Mayer won silver.

Last year the junior european champion Yannick Borel was winner of U23 and second in total of 250 participants. Only the world champion Nikolai Novosjolov was better.
