Mendham resident and former MHS fencing coach Bob Largman returns with medals, memories and perhaps most importantly–Cadbury chocolate.
The Olympics are not new to fencing coach Bob Largman. In fact, the Mendham resident and former Morristown High School coach has participated in Sydney, Athens and Beijing before taking the trip to London. Despite that, nothing about them has become commonplace. “Each of the games in which I have participated have had a unique identity," he said. "Sydney will always be special because it was my first Olympics. Beijing was special because of the enormity, grandeur, and exotic fashion in which it was presented.” The London games, according to Largman, have been an incredible experience of their own. “London is special because of the incredible volunteers that have given so much to making these games a wonderful experience,” he said. “The …

Morristown foil fencers show their skills.

The tip of a fencer's blade is said to be the second-fastest moving object in sport; the first being a marksman's bullet.
