So i can say I've never had any interest in fencing, but i saw this in my CZcams recommended , I'm not sure why but I'm here for it

[@samsignorelli]

Look up some other matches and bouts. It can be fascinating at the top levels (the level I fence at...not so much!)
I have a couple of reaction vids on my YT channel (just click on my name), if you want to check them out,

Thank you for the slow mo replay at 0:55, one of the cleanest compound attacks I've seen

[@kilacoda]

Thank you for the foil highlights, was wanting to look at them but the Olympic channel never posted them for some reason!

Thank you, Team USA 🇺🇸 💙 ❤ 🙏 ♥ 💖 for Men's Fencing 🤺 Foil Team in Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games wins the bronze medal 🥉 over host country Japan, 🇯🇵 congratulations.

I'd forgotten that Nick Itkin had been pulled for Race in the match with Russia. Still...he got a bronze medal out of it, even though he couldn't go back in (which is a stupid rule...US men's team sabre proved that)

INSANE 🔥🔥

[@zilliq]

Can somebody explain why right gets the point at 5:23 ? It seems like a clear attack left. I'm new to foil
Can't believe right also gets a point at 6:56, he advances belly first, gets poked straight in the body, attacks half a second after getting hit and gets the point
Edit: I think I get it, for the first one there might be a very slight parry/riposte, and the signal blocking time is 300ms in foil and 40ms in épée, that's why it looks weird to me, but alright I guess, the rules are the rules

[@RealDonCarlo]

In the second case, an attack from the right, because Matsuyama evaded the attack of Massialas, besides, Massialas did not stop and retained the right to touch

[@astrathedisastra7462]

5:23, left attack stopped short but he continued forward with his blade, so the call would be attack left no, attack right. 6:56, Matsuyama could've had a nice preparation, but he opted to do a counterattack, and a counterattack cannot be an attack.
