Congratulations Oliver! 🤺

Shoutout to Kent Sport Scholar Oliver Faulkner, who represented Kent on the international stage at the Leaning Tower Para Fencing World Cup recently! 🤺

Oliver, a 2nd-year Computer Science student, regularly competes in a wheelchair in both Sabre and Epee (two of the three weapons used in the sport of fencing), as well as representing the university at weekly BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) team fixtures.

Reflecting on the experience, he said: “The 2026 Pisa World Cup was an experience I will keep with me for the rest of my life. I felt an overwhelming sense of pride getting on that plane for my first ever international competition, representing the university. I was very lucky to be able to go to the competition with such incredible wheelchair fencers and to have amazing support from brilliant coaches and my family. I have really appreciated the support the scholarship scheme has given me, especially access to strength and conditioning classes and physio, which have not only made me a fitter athlete but have also helped improve my overall stamina and strength. The support I was given in the lead-up to the competition put me in really good shape to perform my best in Pisa.”
