Coach Andrei Volkov

Coach Andrei Volkov- a brash, arrogant fencing coach with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. He immigrated to the United States after coming up against opposition to his radical ideas by the fencing establishment in his homeland.

Serik Musukayev- a mysterious young sabre fencer from Kazakhstan, Serik arrived just before Coach Volkov left for Beijing, when he was promised a chance to try out for one of Coach’s few elite student slots.

Arianna DiGrigio

Arianna “Ari” DiGrigio- originally from Italy, this tenacious foil fencer has the drive and talent to go all the way, and would do anything to get there. She makes the US Olympic team under unusual circumstances, only to be defeated in the round of 16 by one of her former countrymen, Rossi of Italy.

Cameron “Cam” Tucker- Originally a foil fencer, this college sophomore recently made the switch to epee.

Diane “Grace” Bak- A dedicated epeeist and successful businesswoman. Grace is one of Coach’s closest friends and helps him with club management and finances.

Drew Jensen- A grad student who fences whatever weapon suits him at the time. Drew took Russian as an undergraduate and practices on Coach and Serik.

SSgt “T” Torres- A Marine helicopter mechanic at the local air base, this sabre fencer returned to fencing after his last deployment. Toughness and devotion to duty masks the pain over the recent separation with his wife.
