2011 New York World Cup

The United States Fencing Association and the New York Athletic Club are hosting the New York World Cup at the New York Athletic Club, 180 Central Park South, New York, NY 11019 from June 24 to June 26, 2011. Proprintwear is proud to have been chosen as the “Official Merchandiser” for this event.

The Fencing shall be top caliber as athletes from around the world gather to compete for world titles. Fencers from the United States have stepped up their game in recent years winning various international and Olympic medals. Mariel Zagunis looks to repeat her gold medal performance at the 2012 Olympic Games and the New York World Cup is part of the qualifying path to the 2012 Olympic Games. Ibihaj Muhammad, Dagmara Wozniak, Daria Schneider and Aksamit Moinca have also been fencing extremely well for the United States and well worth following during the New York World Cup. For the US Men; Daryl Homer, Tim Morehouse, James Williams and Jeff Spear are fencing extremely well and look to further their efforts to secure an invitation to the 2012 Olympic Games as well. Ben Igoe and Luther Clement are also strong contenders as should not be overlooked.

The New York Athletic Club was founded in 1868 and in the writer’s opinion sets the mark for all other sports clubs to emulate. A dress code is strictly enforced and may be viewed at http://www.nyac.org/. The New York Athletic Club offers an exquisite Dining Room with an unforgettable and spectacular view of the Long Island Sound perfect for a romantic sunset dining experience.
