Léon Sée

Combat Sports

Léon Sée was a French fencer who competed around the turn of the twentieth century. Born in Lille on 23 September 1877, he died in Paris on 21 March 1960. He took part in the fencing events at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, where he won the bronze medal in the épée after losing his semi-final to fellow Frenchman Louis Perrée. At the same Games he also won a bronze medal in the amateur masters épée, an event held for fencing masters and amateurs together. His two bronze medals make him one of the French medallists of the earliest modern Olympic fencing programme, and Olympedia keeps a biographical record of him.
