Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson competed in a veterans’ fencing tournament in France, finishing 13th out of 31 participants. He faced off against three-time Olympic medalist Pascal Jolyot and joked that his opponent was "not bad." Dickinson, who picked up fencing at age 14, trained with the UK’s Olympic squad during Iron Maiden's downtime in the 1980s. The singer will tour Europe with Iron Maiden in 2025 to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary.
