Après sa victoire en coupe du Monde, son titre de Vice-champion d’Europe, c’est à Rio qu’il a vécu une aventure sportive extraordinaire. Jamais un sportif licencié à Souffelweyersheim n’avait réussi à se qualifier pour les Jeux Olym- piques (JO). Retour sur cette aventure où il terminera à la 6ème place. « Être qualifié pour les JO, c’est vraiment l’aboutissement de toute une carrière. Sur place, à Rio, l’aventure a été exceptionnelle ! Dans cette compétition, tout est tellement exacerbé, la dimension, l’envie d’aller le plus loin, les médias… Les résultats de ces derniers mois m'avaient donné le goût des podiums et suscitaient de l'espoir et de l'ambition pour ces JO. Je suis donc forcément un peu déçu d'avoir calé en quart de finale mais je suis fier de mon parcours durant cette olympiade ! C'était déjà un rêve de pouvoir participer aux Jeux Olympiques et j'ai eu le plaisir de pouvoir les dis- puter avec la posture d'un prétendant au titre. Je me suis bien préparé et j'étais prêt à aller au bout de moi-même. Je pense avoir donné le maximum et mis tout mon engagement dans cette aven- ture. Mon adversaire a su me poser un problème tactique que j'ai mis trop de temps à résoudre et le mérite lui en revient.

    Revue de presse 2017 - 2018 Photo: Augusto Bizzi Photo: Augusto Bizzi Photos: Augusto Bizzi Photo: Augusto Bizzi 1 Revue de presse 2017 - 2018 Le 03/11/2017 ESCRIME : Anstett reprend à Alger La première Coupe du monde de sabre seniors messieurs de la saison se déroulera à Alger ce week-end. Initialement, c’est Dakar, la capitale sénégalaise, qui devait accueillir cette étape. Mais faute de moyens, elle s’est finalement désengagée et c’est donc l’Algérie qui a été retenue. Pour ce rendez-vous, 25 nations ont confirmé leur participation, notamment la Hongrie, la France, la Rus- sie et les États-Unis. Tous les sabreurs auront à cœur de briller avec un plateau très relevé emmené par le champion olympique en titre, le Hongrois Aron Szilagyi. Le club bas-rhinois du Souffel Escrime sera présent avec Vincent Anstett, vainqueur l’an dernier de la première étape mondiale à Dakar, Tom Seitz et Max Hartung, qui tirera sous les couleurs de l’Allemagne. Vincent Anstett aborde cette première compétition mondiale « avec beaucoup d’envie et peu de certi- tudes. Ma préparation a été perturbée par ma paternité (ndlr : il est papa depuis deux mois) et une bles- sure récurrente que nous avons pris le temps de soigner. Je ne suis pas à 100 %, mais comme d’habitude, je donnerai le maximum. » Dans la perspective de la Ligue des champions pour laquelle elle s’est qualifiée, l’équipe souffeloise s’est renforcée avec la venue de Tom Seitz. À 23 ans, il a déjà un très beau parcours : médaillé de bronze aux championnats du monde junior en 2014 en individuel, champion du monde universitaire par équipe en 2015, membre de l’équipe de France en individuel et par équipe, il est n°1 au classement national et 24e mondial.
