Hugh Nixon that might be true

Simon Deelstra I thought you two had the same profile xd..

Pamkor AVv haha same

At first I thought he is answering himself

I thought that too.

They inspect equipment because you're a fencer? You must be one shady character.

no, they inspect everyone's weapons, specifically inside the bell guard to check for any such devices which can sabotage the bout.

And for opaque tape over the wires (CLEAR tape is ok).

Jared Bowhay-Pringle I'm an armourer, every fencer's equipment is checked before any major meet. The referee's can also disqualify any piece of the equipment, at any time.

Di I've head the story from the Olympic level armourer who taught me. I doubt the device portrayed in the film was that bulky, or obvious.

To achieve power in the opponent's bee farm

Lmao

To show, who can evade the most stings

XD

for glory and for honor. and also his bees went into the orchard for my bees.

Yeah we saw the video , don't need to repeat it

chocolatepain the video portrayal shows it missing by a foot, to easily show it to viewers. In reality, near hits happen in milimeters or less. I've had times where I've made contact but no hit registers. You can't tell by watching, you have to rely on the machine. By the rules today, the hit has to be more than 750g. As in, with the epee pointing up, if you place a 750g weight on the point, there has to be no hit registered. So it can happen that the blade literally just touches the opponent and there's no hit. It's those situations that a cheater would use their button to make the machine register a hit. Experienced fencers would know though if they've hit or were hit. Last week, in a game, I was wondering why I wouldn't score in spite of feeling it. In the end, the wire to the machine was faulty.

it all happens stupid fast like almost impossible to actually see bare eyed

@@cykasucc6634 not in epee

He did it because the KGB made him...back in those days, you did what the KGB wanted unless you wanted an all expenses paid relocation to a gulag in Siberia. I remember hearing that he finally got tired of it and deliberately triggered the light when he was obviously out of distance so he'd get caught and be able to stop, but I'm not sure how accurate that may be.

Most people are unaware It was actually a little boy dying from brain cancer who spotted he was cheating. Most reports just say the British objected.

Roy Jones Jr. In Seoul. :/ Count-A-Punch recorder scored the rounds 20-3, 30-15 and 36-14 in Rjj's favor, but the Judges gave the Korean Park gold. His opponent didn't celebrate, hung his head in shame, and raised Rjj's hand on the podium.

I smell a koreaboo...

For me, the most devious was in Olympics 2012 whr Shin Alam was robbed of her medal

I was just about to comment that. Everybody with FS rules knowledge knows that.

When I think of Olympic BS, I think of the South Korean boxing (Roy Jones Jr. getting robbed) or the 1972 US/Soviet basketball game. And possibly an underage Chinese girl's gymnastics team in 2008.

Yep...altering the cant after it's gone through control is a black card.

He nearly WASN'T caught. The officials initially did not take the accusation of cheating very seriously, but asked to inspect the weapon. Their suspicion was really only aroused when they noticed he tried to switch weapons. If he hadn't done that they might not have made a very thorough inspection.

Sabina R. They won't. It was in sochi rusia, prob if there is male rusian skater they will get gold to, beat yuzuru

HAHAHA greatest cheater being the olympic committee (and russia) so true. yuna was robbed and it's hella obvious especially to those who've been skating and those who've been watching skating for a long time.

@@singingpinkclover It was obvious even to me who has extremely minimal knowledge of FS.

Not as bad as roy Jones jr getting robbed

Agreed

I am not sure that is so comically huge, for 1986.

@@cscoetzee Well, even back then all he had to do to get his touch to register is shorting the two wires coming in where the guard meets the grip. Making a slight cut in the insulation and pressing them together would be enough.

@@cscoetzee its 1976

It was one button on that circuit board. They all had that board in them.

@@Na-if5ze I'm not sure if you're serious, but just in case: Epees haven't really changed much since they became electric in 1936. You have two wires running down the blade, which form a circuit when the tip is depressed. In the guard, the wires connect to two of the holes in the socket, while the third is connected to the guard to ground it. The 'cheating device' would have consisted of small cuts being made in the wires' insulation where they come into the guard from the blade, and then arranging them in such a way that pressing your thumb on them would touch them together, completing the circuit and registering a hit. If the wires cross accidentally, you'll get hits registering when you're nowhere near the opponent, which is what happened in this case.

They spend a lot of money on the cameras

Its called digital enhancing. Meaning they clean up the dirty film of specks, poor colour quality and squiggles and clean to make it so brand new.

If it was recorded on film, not magnetic tape, it can be scanned in HD.

There is a *lot* more detail in film than people realise these days.

Analog footage has effectively infinite resolution, at least to the atomic level.

Well what is he doing now? Is he still alive? Must be pretty old.

Yeah, he's alive and well. 80 years old I believe, but still runs 5k every day from what I hear. He never really left sports even after the 1976 Olympics incident. He worked as one of the directors at the Dynamo stadium in Kiev for many years until retirement, and remained very close to the USSR and then the Ukrainian athletic scene in general.

This is pretty sad that you call a Soviet friend specially that you from Ukraine what a shame by the way how is Ukraine. Hi. Hi. Hi.

Cool story, bro.

bs

epee it's not fencing

@@waldemarczaja1273 ??? Epee is one of 3 types of fencing blades. It's like fails hockey. It's hockey but just has different rules. Same with epee and the other 2 blades

@@waldemarczaja1273 epee is fencing. epee means sword in french. fleuret is foil, both are fencing.

You may also try Roy Jones defeat in the 1988 Olympics.

lol

it's not that hard; there is a switch on top of the epee and there are two wires that go to the counting machine connect the wires and recieve a hit

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 who is the actor??

Exactly. Nothing compares to the epic, audacious, systematic, state-sponsored cheating which took place there.

The ScarletHeda this was meant for a comedic effect.

And they were in LP training club, apparently

Obviously

Paul Wilkinson That's the incident I immediately think about when I hear about an unfair result. I was only 7 years old but remember it clearly.

Fern Lin-Healy yeah, me too. It was the WORST corruption from the judges I've ever seen at the Olympics. Can you imagine how either rjj or his opponent felt after that result was announced? I'm surprised the opponent didn't cry too.

Margarito plaster scandel was the most devastating cheta in boxing history

@@spectre4962 nah he got caught pre fight! Resto vs. Collins was the worst example of dangerous cheating :(. 2 inches worth of padding removed, and not noticed until after it was WAAAY too late. Poor guy was brutally injured, torn iris, permanently blurry vision, and he could never box again.

Roy was robbed big time, but being Italian I want to remind everyone that Cammarelle was robbed by Joshua in 2012

Your ironi is world class. :)

Heck...all you really need is something conductive like lame fabric on whatever finger of your weapon can that can lay across the A and B receivers on the socket.

because liars always blame other people and judge them harshly.

It was supposed to simulate a Napoleonic message courier...tasked to take a message to HQ, he starts out on a horse, then has to swim a bit, gets involved in a sword fight and an additional pistol fight, then run to HQ.

@@samsignorelli oh that’s actually very interesting, makes a lot more sense to me now!

No they didn't.

This was during the Soviet era...if the KGB said to cheat, you cheated,

Yea that’s cause they only detect Russians due to diplomatic relationships, but the other cheaters from different countries are never caught since they are always covered up.

@@rebound3829 and u know this how?

@@rebound3829 really?

@@sharangans4836 Both IOC and WADA are located in the west who hates Russia. Most of the olympic athletes use peds, but Russians are heavily targeted and harrassed.

@@crossmaster77 Facts

Well, nobody knows what happened to him after that so.....

Well, you would not care, since you'll score points at will

did you find it ?

It's also not even remotely accurate to what the switch actually looked like.

Mahatma Gandhi mahatma Gandhi and Boris oneshenko is one of the weirdest historical couples I could think of

Gayndhi

You are ghandi and you are a man

I can't believe this

Nuke him

Yeah....that's NOT what it was....it was a simple button switch in the grip itself.

This idiotic reenactment makes it seem a lot less sophisticated than it actually was.

*2014

Wrong fencing vid, lol.

What?
