Greg Massialas (born 20 May 1956) is an American foil fencer and fencing coach.
Career
A reserve for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, he was set to make his Olympic début at the Moscow Games, but was prevented from so doing by the American government's decision to boycott them.[1] He competed at the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics.[2]
He is the founder and head coach of the Massialas Foundation (MTEAM), a fencing club in San Francisco. Since 2012 he is the national coach of the United States senior foil team, which includes his own son Alexander. He brought it to a No.1 world ranking, with each of its four members ranking individually in the Top 10 and Miles Chamley-Watson winning the 2013 World Fencing Championships. Massialas' daughter Sabrina, still a junior, is also a high-level foil fencer.
