“Bull” might not be the best name for the beautiful Italian fencing star Margherita Granbassi, but she has been described as such in her fighting style.

She may have finished 10th at Athens, but she has only improved from there. 2007 has been a consistently good year for her, with her finishing in the top three at World Cup and Grand Prix events.

Even though all four Granbassi children have fenced at some time, Margherita has been the one to stick with it through the years. When she’s not fencing, she also enjoys riding horses, swimming, and playing tennis.

She has also been graced as one of the most beautiful athletes around the globe.
