Her amazing selection comes off the back of her recent successes across the continent, and last weekend she achieved her best ever individual performance in the Riposta Cup Cadet competition in Bucharest, Romania. In the individual contest she finished 15th out of 193 competitors, defeating the number 3 seed. Recently Melissa also competed in the Under 20 World Cup in Segovia, where she was up against women who were older and more experienced from Asia and the United States – a brilliant learning experience.
Alongside her triumphs in fencing, Melissa is working hard for her upcoming GCSEs and tackling her mock exams, but her adventure resumes this weekend when she heads to Plovdiv, Bulgaria to compete as part of Team GB’s Junior Women’s Sabre Squad in the Junior World Cup.
Good luck Melissa, we are so proud of you – What a superstar!
