Galvez, who represented Canlas Fencing, dominated top seed Hei Shun Keung of Hong Kong 15-8 in the finals of the Under-14 girl’s foil last Saturday – her second gold medal in the same category in international meet just seven months after her breakthrough victory in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
University of the East high school fencers delivered big for the Philippines as Willa Galvez captured two gold medals and Yuna Canlas added one in the Thailand Fencing Festival Minime and Veterans Championships 2024 held over the weekend at the Diamond Hall in Zeer Rangsit, Thailand.
On the other hand, Canlas, an incoming freshman for the Red Warriors, captured the gold medal in Under-12 girl’s epee on the final day of competition Monday after beating Lena Xia of Singapore 10-5 in the finals. She also earned two bronze medals in the three-day tournament. Galvez finished with a 4-1 record in the pooling of women’s foil following wins against Yu Wei Chen of Singapore , Yuvika Subodh Saikhedkar of India , Xu Shuoyan of China and Yuga Fong of Hong Kong . The only blot in her pool record was a 5-3 defeat to Ella Wang of Australia.
