Summary

In the 6th episode of season 2 of Chaos on the Strip, I talk to Alexander Massialas about his career. At the beginning of the 2024-2025 season Alexander made the surprising decision to become the head coach of the Stanford Fencing team while also continuing his personal competitive career. This has paid off well for him as he has won several FIE events since then, including his third Challenge International de Paris. We discuss all of that and more in this interview.
