Ziad Elsissy, one of the world’s top saber fencers, is the driving force behind Z1 Fencing’s high-performance program.
A two-time Olympian from Alexandria, Egypt, Ziad made history as the first African and Arab sabre fencer to top the world rankings, win a Grand Prix, and medal at the World Championships.
His electrifying run at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where he placed fourth, marked the highest Olympic finish in Egyptian saber fencing history.
