    BEIJING - Former Academy fencer, Seth Kelsey lost to silver medalist, Fabrice Jeannet of France in the second round, 15-11, of the men's individual epee in Beijing, according to Associated Press. Fabrice got off to an early 3-0 lead but Kelsey came fighting back to tie it at 5. It stayed nip and tuck through a 10-10 score, but Fabrice took over and never looked back.

    Kelsey qualified high enough that he did not have an opponent in the first round.
