FORMER Olympian Nontapat Panchan of Thailand showed his best to inspire Kuala Lumpur’s Blade Fencing trainees at the eighth Air Force International Fencing Championships in Bangkok, Thailand recently.

Nontapat, who is taking charge of the newly set-up centre, proved that he has the touch to fend off his challengers in the men’s open foil at the meet.
