Advice and motivational words to our inspiring and budding women fencing playing girls who all are your fans, what do they do for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of women fencing?
Rossella Fiamingo:
To be the best you need to arm yourself with patience, another important thing is consistency and believing in yourself even when things don’t go as you hoped. I used the brick method… one at a time… only at the end will you see the result… but from the looks of it I have already built something big!
Namita Nayyar:
How did you feel after you’re memorable winning the Gold medal in the Individual Women’s Épée event at the 2014 World Fencing Championships held in Kazan, Russia?
Rossella Fiamingo:
Excellent, it was the beginning of my best years! That result gave me the strength to feel the strongest of all for once and encouraged me to continue to be so.
Namita Nayyar:
You won Bronze medal in the Team Women’s Épée event at the 2011 World Fencing Championships held in Catania, Italy and later in 2016 you won individual Olympic silver medal in the event épée fencing. How did these successes act as a catalyst in your meteoric rise as a fencing sportsperson?
Rossella Fiamingo:
When you’re inside you don’t even pay much attention to what you’re doing, you live it and you don’t get tired of winning because winning helps you win. They are those moments where everything you do goes well and everything turns in your favor because you are incredibly in the flow and you let yourself be carried away. They were golden moments very close to each other and even today I am surprised at how I did it.
Namita Nayyar:
It is known that you had fought back in matches with sheer determination against all odds and returned to win. How you were able to overcome a mental block when your team was trailing and then reverse the final outcome of the match in your favor and what advice you can give to a fellow sportsperson in a similar situation?
Rossella Fiamingo:
I believe that inner strength sometimes makes the difference, in moments when everything seems difficult, almost impossible, if you remain clear and aware of what is happening, you can do it.
If you panic you probably lose.
My winning tactic is: deep breath and repeat to myself this is a game. I started for fun and I continue to play. Always put yourself out there even in difficulties.
Namita Nayyar:
You won two gold, one silver and four bronze medals in World Fencing Championships from 2011 to 2022 and has won numerous other awards. How do you remain so humble and lovable? Success has not made you the least arrogant and proud which is mostly with all the celebrity stars.
Rossella Fiamingo:
Fencing for me is pure passion, I like training, I like the preparation process more than the victory itself. Winning doesn’t go to my head, it just makes me more eager to do it again. Because the feeling of preparing and succeeding in something is so beautiful!
