Additional information
Start of sporting career
He began fencing in 1994. (benjaminkleibrink.de, 27 Sep 2011)
Reason for taking up this sport

Ambitions
To win a medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games. (wdr.de, 26 Apr 2012)
Most memorable sporting achievement
Winning gold at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. (benjaminkleibrink.de, 27 Sep 2011)
Sporting philosophy / motto
"The most important thing about fencing is mental toughness, especially in decisive battles. It's just like a penalty shoot-out in football. It is also possible in fencing to be very successful without having to be the most talented, as long as you work hard." (sport1.de, 28 Apr 2010)
Awards
His gold medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games was the first ever individual foil Olympic gold medal for Germany. (sport1.de, 28 Apr 2010)
