Carl Badger made his third appearance as a member of Team USA at the 2018 Veteran World Championships, held in Livorno Italy, October 8 through 14th.  Competing in Veteran 60 Men’s Saber, Carl finished 6th out of 46 athletes.

Carl began the competition seeded 4th going into the pool rounds. He finished pools with 5 wins and 1 loss, falling only to Thierry Jamgotchian of France 5-3. His solid pool performance earned him 10th seed heading into the direct elimination round and a first round bye.  In the round of 32 he faced a strong Italian opponent, Andre Bocoini, overcoming him 10-4. He went on to fence a familiar opponent in the round of 16, overcoming Carl Morris of Great Britain 10-8.  The next round brought him up against a fellow Team USA fencer, Joshua Runyan, whom eventually defeated Carl and went on to earn the Bronze medal.
