Claire Cooper (Épée Fencing)

WOMENZSPORTS is hyped to share our kōrero with Claire Cooper! Sports journalist and rugby player Alice Soper sits down with Claire to learn how a holiday program turned into a lifelong passion for épée fencing, the details on those white uniforms, and her experience competing in a niche sport at the bottom of the world. Claire also shares what it was like to compete at the World Championships in Italy in 2023 and how being selected for an international training camp for disadvantaged countries has ignited her hope to represent Aotearoa in this upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.Donate to Claire's GiveALittle: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/claires-2024-olympic-campaignFollow us on social @womenzsportsWant to get in touch? https://www.womenzsports.com/aboutDon't forget to rate & review this podcast wherever you're listening!Music by Alex_MakeMusic “Calming In The Sun” from Pixabay  Hosted on Acast.
