He learnt épée under coaches Rudy Plicoste and Barbara Paulin.
At the age of fifteen he was noticed by France's head coach Jérôme Roussat, who offered him a spot at the national junior training centre in Reims, Metropolitan France.

France defeated Russia, then prevailed by a single hit over Italy in the semi-finals.
They failed to establish a new record of seven straight World titles after a surprise 37–44 defeat against the United States and had to settle for silver.
In the quarter-finals he met Norway's Bartosz Piasecki and took an early 6–2 lead, but failed to press his advantage and was finally defeated 14–15 by Piasecki, who eventually won the silver medal.
After the Games Borel was dropped from the national team and had two dry seasons, although he was France's flagbearer at the 2013 University Games.
