In the continued efforts of our sports diplomacy series, the Pacific Council organized a family-friendly fencing clinic hosted by Olympian Tarek Ayad, an Egyptian foil fencer who participated in the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics. This unique event included an introductory fencing clinic hosted by the Olympian himself, Tarek.

The Pacific Council invited Olympian and Paralympian athletes to share their personal stories on sports diplomacy, continuing our new partnership with the United States Olympians and Paralympians Association leading up to the LA 2028 games and building off our MMXXIII Gala.
