Bennet Nathaniel Lubell[1] (August 15, 1916 – September 17, 2006) was an American three-time Olympian fencer.

Early and personal life[edit]

Lubell was born in New York City, and was Jewish.[2] Later in life he lived in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[3]

Fencing career[edit]

He fenced for the City College of New York, graduating in 1936, and Lubell was inducted into the CCNY Athletic Hall of Fame in 1969.[3][4][1]

Lubell won the United States Foil Fencing Championship in 1948, fencing for the Fencers Club of New York.[2][1][5] He also helped the Fencers Club win the team foil in 1949-51, 1953, and 1955-56 at the Amateur Fencers League of America (AFLA) Championships.[1]

At the 1951 Pan American Games, Lubell won the bronze medal in individual foil, team gold medals in foil and saber, and the silver medal in team epee.[3][1] The entire USA Foil Fencing Team at the 1956 Olympics was Jewish, with the other Jewish fencers being Daniel Bukantz, Albert Axelrod, Harold Goldsmith, and Byron Krieger.[6][7]

Lubell competed for the United States in foil at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, and the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne.[1]

He coached fencing at West Point from 1962-66.[3] Lubell served as President of The New York Fencers Club during the 1970s.[3]
