Biography

A member of Lansdowne Club, Terry Beddard won the 1939 National Épée Championship by beating Lansdowne teammate Michael McCready in a play-off. The win compensated for Beddard finishing second in 1936, the year he made his Olympic début. At the age of 45, Beddard took part in the 1947 World Championships, and a year later, competed in his second Olympics.
