Estonian fencer and coach From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Endel Nelis (28 September 1925 Karuse Parish, Lääne County – 12 April 1993 Haapsalu) was an Estonian fencer and fencing coach.[1]
In 1950 he graduated from Tartu State University in physical education. From 1950 to 1966 he was a member of Estonian national escadron team. In 1955 and 1961 he was the Estonian champion in fencing. After an active fencing career, he taught fencing at Haapsalu sport school.[1]
The 2015 Finnish-Estonian-German film The Fencer, directed by Klaus Härö, is loosely based on the life of Endel Nelis.[2]
