On the Senior Circuit, Matsuyama. Since 2016, Matsuyama has consistently made the Top 64, but has never medalled. In 2019, Matsuyama made his first top 8 at the Bonn World Cup, but lost to Alessio FOCONI of Italy in the Quarterfinal. Matsuyama fenced very well at the Tokyo Olympic Games, almost defeating Daniele GAROZZO in the Top 16, then scored very high indicators against Italy and France in the Team. However, Matsuyama and Team Japan did not medal, then Matsuyama did not gain any great results in the following season. On the Right - Alessio FOCONI of Italy Foconi is one of the most dominant fencers since the end of the Rio Olympic Cycle.

I just love watching Foconi get frustrated when he misses, very theatrical. Great bout!
You can so clearly see Le Pechoux's influence
Poor Matsuyama had to fence uphill the entire time and still managed to win! 😂
