[edit] Olympic fencing career
Stern was a member of the French fencing team at the 1908 London Olympics, and competed in both the team and individual epee events. During the Games, the French team defeated Denmark (10-6), Great Britain (12-5), and Belgium (9-7) to capture the gold medal[1] (Stern only competed against Denmark). One of his team-mates on the French team was Alexandre Lippmann.
In the individual competition at the 1908 Games, Stern won his 1st-round pool, and advanced to the semifinals by finishing 2nd in his second round pool. He was then eliminated in the semifinals after finishing 5th in his pool (the top 4 advanced to the final), and officially finished in 12th place.
