UPDATED LINKS! July 28: Follow Tim Morehouse '00 at the Olympics! - Brandeis

Posted: Jul 28, 2012

With the 2012 Olympic Games upon us, it's time to catch up with Brandeis's favorite Olympian, Tim Morehouse '00. A 2008 silver medalist in fencing with the saber squad, the Hall of Fame inductee has been busy promoting his sport and training with the hopes of repeating his medal-winning performance – if not improving.

Tim's opening match is on July 29 - his 34th birthday! - at 12:30 p.m. in London, 7:30 a.m. on the East Coast. The 27th seed in the tournament, he has earned a first-round bye. Tim will be facing No. 6 seed Venjamin Reshetnikov of Russia. You can follow the action on-line at http://www.nbcolympics.com/fencing/.

Tim has been instrumental in the promotion of his sport via the sold-out Fencing Masters event which was held in New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on June 26. The event was first shown on television on July 13 at 10:30 a.m. on SportsNet NY, the network home of the New York Mets. It will be rebroadcast on Universal Sports on July 19 at 7:30, marking the first time a non-Olympic fencing event will be televised nationally in the U.S.

The Games launch on July 27 with opening ceremonies and Tim will be competing on July 29 (individual event) and Aug 3 (team event). You can catch all the matches streaming live on www.nbcolympics.com/fencing. Hopefully there will be some TV coverage as well.

Tim will also be sending out exclusive content via BURST.IT. You can sign up at http://burst.me/tm/tim-morehouse.html

Tim appeared on the Today show for the second time this summer on Tuesday, July 10, showing off the outfits the US team will be wearing for the opening ceremonies. He's also showing off EVERYTHING in ESPN: The Magazine's annual Body Issue which hit the stands on Wednesday, July 11.
