Chamley-Watson has had a lot of success in the world of fencing.
He moved to the US when he was eight and started playing the sport that would become his trademark at the Knox School a year after arriving. He was born in London and moved there again when he was eight.
His early years were affected by it, which helped him get a scholarship to Pennsylvania State University.
Miles had already clinched the top spot on the American foil fencing team for the Olympics at the end of his senior year in 2011.
He competed in the Olympics in 2012 but was defeated by Alaaeldin Abouelkassem of Egypt in the second round. In the solo event, Abouelkassem went on to win a silver medal.
The next year, Chamley-Watson became the first American to win the World Championship.
Four years later, in Rio de Janeiro, Chamley-Watson took away home the bronze medal for the USA in the team event.
He has become the face of his sport and garnered sponsorships from Nike, Coach, Richard Mille watches, and Mumm’s champagne thanks to his attractive looks and towering 6 feet 4 inches height.
By motivating young people who, like him, had faced boredom, bullying, and maltreatment, he hoped to increase the popularity of fencing.
