Catherine Dunnette will compete in the women's team epee event at the Olympic Games in Athens. She was part of the Canadian epee team that placed sixth last year at a World Cup in Germany. It's the first time Canada has qualified a full women's epee squad for the Olympics.
"I'm really proud to be part of the first Canadian team in history to qualify for the Olympics," said Dunnette.
