Harry Saner
Harry Saner (born 18 September 2000) is a South African fencer. Saner represented South Africa at the 2024 Summer Olympics, becoming the first South African fencer to qualify for the Olympics since 2008.[1] Saner qualified for the Olympics by winning the African qualifying tournament in Algiers.[2] Competing in the men's épée, he lost his first bout against Vadim Sharlaimov.[3] Saner became interested in fencing as a child due to his interest in medieval knights and wanting to emulate them.[4]
