Olympic champion Ruben Limardo has announced plans to continue his remarkable fencing journey through to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, potentially marking a historic sixth Olympic appearance for the Venezuelan icon.
“My big dream is LA 2028,” Limardo told Panam Sports.
“I want to be the first Venezuelan to compete in six Olympic Games, and I’ll go after another Olympic medal.”
Limardo, who turns 40 on 3 August, is Venezuela’s most decorated fencer and remains a central figure in his national team.
Despite the physical demands of elite competition, he says his passion for the sport continues to grow.
“I still feel good physically. Of course, I get tired more easily, but I enjoy fencing now more than ever,” Limardo told Panam Sports. “Leaving the sport will be difficult as long as I keep winning.”
