My Take
Romain Cannone genuinely impresses me. The French epeeist took individual gold at the Tokyo Olympics, then swept both individual and team world titles in 2022, becoming the first to win back-to-back individual epee world crowns since Pavel Kolobkov. In a discipline decided by a single touch in a fraction of a second, that kind of repeatable, ice-cold finishing is rare and reveals real mental steel. I also like the unusual arc, studying at an American university before reaching the summit for France, capped fittingly by the Legion of Honour. His composed, understated ferocity is something I deeply admire.
