Raul SAUCEDO

In addition to his three Olympics appearances, Raúl Saucedo was the first fencer to win the South American fencing championship. Still competing late into his 40s, Saucedo won a gold medal in team épée at the 1951 Pan American Games, adding a silver medal in team foil at that event. His son, Guillermo later competed at two Olympics in fencing and is often regarded as Argentina’s greatest ever fencer.
