Nikolay Kovalev is a Russian world champion who took bronze on Olympic games in 2012. Nikolay attributed his success to national coach Christian Bauer, who, he said, introduced Russia to the world of modern fencing. Christian Bauer in his turn, on the eve of the Olympic games in London emphasized that Nikolay stepped out of the shadow of Russian national team leader Alexey Yakimenko. And that is just how it turned out. By winning the bronze medal on Olympics 2012, Nikolay became the first Russian sabre fencer who won any Olympic medal since Olympic games in 1996. The deserved addition to the Olympic award was the title of Honored Master of Sports, which he received on his return from London. Kovalev has shown outstanding fencing class over the years, and it is not surprising that we included him in our ranking.
