Hi!
I'm Kasper Tafenau – a fencer whose sporting journey began in 2011, when by chance I ended up at the fencing hall next to my home in Tallinn. I was immediately captivated by the adrenaline, speed and playfulness of the sport – a combination that has stayed with me to this day.
In recent years I have represented Estonia at youth championships and in the World Cup series, and this year for the first time at the Universiade, the European Championships and the World Championships.
My most important achievements:
- 2025 European Championships: 10th place in the team event
- 2025, 2022: Estonian team champion
- 2025 U23 European Championships: 16th place individually
- 2022 U23 European Championships: team bronze, 15th place individually
- 2022 Junior World Cup in Udine: 7th place
- 2021 Nordic junior champion
- 2021 Estonian junior champion and cup winner
My long-term goal is to reach the world's top and represent Estonia at the Olympic Games. Every training session and every competition is a step in that direction.
Alongside sport, tools that help me measure my progress and understand my body better are important to me. I use a Garmin Fenix 7X Solar sports watch with an HRM-Pro heart rate strap to track my performance, recovery and sleep quality. These devices give me a clear picture of where I am today – and where I can go tomorrow.
In training and everyday life, my indispensable companion is a pair of Oakley Encoder sunglasses – with a Polished White frame and Prizm Sapphire lenses. These glasses combine function and style: they stay firmly in place, are lightweight and protect my eyes in any light, without compromise.
For me, sport is a lifestyle that builds discipline, provides mental balance and helps me grow as a person. I believe that through sport you can create a better version of yourself every day – both on the piste and off it.
