Fencing isn’t about size or strength, that’s what’s so special about this sport. In boxing, muscle mass counts. In basketball, tall people have an advantage. A fencer can be small and still win against a seemingly overwhelming opponent. If your will is strong enough.
It takes a long time before a fencer gets her hands on a foil. First, posture is trained, which requires patience. Then the spirit: take counterattacks. Endurance and perseverance are important. And: the tactical sense for the right moment.
This is Ankie Spitzer’s moment. She is 76 years old, not particularly tall, not particularly strong. She is the widow of fencing coach André Spitzer, one of the eleven athletes on the Israeli Olympic team who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in Munich in September 1972.
At that time she began to fight: for a dignified commemoration, access to the files, compensation for the bereaved. 50 years. And now she has defeated her opponent.
Ankie Spitzer’s opponent is the German government. The fact that the 50th anniversary of the assassination has been making headlines for weeks has a lot to do with her. She scored the decisive goal at the right moment.
