Eleanor Grace Harvey (born January 14, 1995) is a Canadianfoil fencer from Hamilton, Ontario.[1] Harvey won the gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto in the women's team foil event.[2] She is also a former world junior silver medallist in the women's individual foil event.[3][4]
Harvey became interested in becoming an Olympian while watching 2000 Sydney Games. She began training for long distance running before turning to karate at eight years ago. She trained karate for two years before realizing that karate was not an Olympic sport at that time. Harvey changed to practice fencing after a family friend heard a radio interview with Sherraine Schalm.[5]
