But now, I am here for a fencing competition a veteran foil for older people, like me.

Dickinson won his first-round bout against Jeiner Simon of Denmark before losing to Frances Jolyot Pascal.

(you could check out some footage of Dickinson in the tournament below.)

He is not bad, Dickinson quipped of Jolyot.

Dickinson has been fencing ever since and even trained with the British Olympic team in the Eighties.

No additional shows have been announced yet, but the tour is expected to stretch into 2026.
