Cazé had a very good year in fencing, and her success is based on good performances in swimming and fencing. She has 4 of 9 best scores this year. Then we have mostly pentathletes from Eastern Europe, Great Britain, Medany and Marques. Another highlight is Chen, whose good run in fencing helped her taking the World Championship title, where the crowd favourite Livingston had probably the most impressive record of the year.
