Back in the old days, P-cards didn't exist. When a minute of passivity was reached in a team match, they would simply roll onto the next bout without penalty. This resulted in fencers having to decide how likely it was for them to score single lights against the opponent, and if both fencers weren't confident, they would back off and let their teammates have a go. This resulted in these tricky match ups and jammy tactics.
I simply loved this Korean team 한국 남자 에페. Jung Jinsun 정진선 was the reason I first watched the match as I love his foot shot/ hand shot combo. Park Kyoungdoo 박경두 is just some dormant monster who rips things apart if someone prods him too much. It's easy to forget his results when he's just walking backwards in most of his matches. But this match I found myself getting invested in the performances of Mathias Biabiany and Ronan Gustin. I wasn't sold on Park Sangyoung 박상영 and Yannick Borel in this match. Neither of them seemed to bring their best fencing, though there was flashes of what they're capable of throughout.
