Fencing may be one of the Olympics¡¯ oldest events, but three-time Olympian Miles Chamley-Watson says it urgently needs a reboot, hoping his new World Fencing League (WFL) will drag the sport into the modern entertainment age.
The British-born American will unveil the league in Los Angeles in April 2026, complete with cinematic broadcasts and cutting-edge blade-tracking technology that turns lightning-fast sword work into real-time visuals.
¡°Why is fencing not on TV? It¡¯s simple, people do not understand what is going on,¡± Chamley-Watson said. ¡°Even my mother doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on because it¡¯s just two lights. This tech is going to change the entire sport forever.¡±
