+Super Hot Marik I am a huge fan of both of them. Ota especially who is a two-time Olympic silver medalist (Beijing Individual and London 2012 team medals) and Gerek who is one of the best fencers produced by American fencing currently. Both of them are looking quite strong for Rio.
Can someone explain the touch at 4:14 to me? Meinhardt is advancing with his arm back not threatening the valid target. Ota begins the extension of the arm first and lands off target, while Meinhardt lands on target. Shouldn't this have been called Ota's attack in preparation and off-target, or at least Meinhardt's incorrect attack and Ota's counterattack?
+Adrian Cohea the way foil is currently called is very generous to the attacker. This is a case of "who was more attacking?" The guy advancing forward on his opponent or the guy who is backing up, stops suddenly and does some target displacement ("squirming"), and hits? The answer in the current convention is that Meinhardt was the one taking the risk of moving on his opponent, therefore he is attacking. It's almost impossible to get an attack-in-prep call unless you do it so well that you get the only light. In this case Meinhardt knew as he was being hit that he was good to go as long as he turned a light on.
Mike Strickland - Fencing Channel Yeah, that's so true. A lot of fencers seem to purposely not extend the arm to avoid a beat or parry and finish the attack as the opponent counterattacks. I don't mind it though- it makes it way more interesting.
@@Emfuser This reply might be late, but Meinhardt established his attack early on with a beat, ruling out a point-in-line or attack-in-prep touch. Even if Ota had the only light, it would still be a counterattack. As of late, refs have given even more leeway for attackers when they beat; it makes the call a lot easier.
It’s definitely way to late for prep and Ota covers to showing that his intention was not to attack but to counter. It can only be prep if ota started his action in the moment when meinhardt pulled back
You need a great deal of attention to appreciate every little detail that makes these two men great at their craft.
