Highlights as USA win Bronze in the Women's Team Epee during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Fencing was included for the first time at the 1896 Games in Athens, and has remained on the Olympic programme since then. The women's fencing competition entered the Games in 1924 in Paris. Today, men and women compete in individual and team events, in which three types of weapon are used: foil, epee and sabre. The foil was, at first, the only weapon used by women, until the 1996 Games in Atlanta, when women's epee was introduced. Women's sabre appeared for the first time on the Olympic programme in Athens in 2004.

@TheWhiskyDelta 6 жыл бұрын

Female fencers tend to spend more time jockying for distance and position, while male fencers are far more likely to rush in aggressive. It's especially noticeable in sabre, as the male matches tend to be hits as fast as possible from the start, while female tend to spend a second or two jockying first before striking.

@kinglion2546 3 жыл бұрын

@@alexanderleeart You could say that, I personally don't find it as entertaining. You can definitely see the difference in the 2016 individual epee for men vs women. The women's match involved many wrist hits, and close-quarters combat, while the men had way more advancements, double-advancements, foot touches, and much more. You could say the technicality of women's fencing may be entertaining for a fencer, but for a spectator who has never fenced, they would definitely find more enjoyment in men fencing.

That's not the priority selection sequence...that's the Sivkova testing her weapon to make sure it's working before fencing. It happens earlier in the bout as well, and is fairly common. The speed of the lights changing is not something that slows down as it gets near selecting priority...it flickers at a regular rate and then STAYS ON GREEN, indicating selection of priority.

Aren't you wasting a foot tempo retreating out of infighting though? I mean sometimes your opponent will crush the distance and there's not much you can do about it.

@wezurii5096 8 жыл бұрын

you're right, but then again, it is up to you to maintain your fencing distance to the best you can. The way I fence doesn't get me in may close engagements so I'm going to just spout some nonsense. If Your quick enough you might be able to seed your opponent's sword while retreating to better position yourself, though i reckon that's almost impossible from infighting.

I don't think you're looking at the same vid I am. The priority light clearly is green, for the right, which was the US (54:07 on THIS vid. The one you referenced is the same vid, along with other matches. I have no idea what Natural Sound means). The ONLY following on red light was on the double touch. Further, there is a graphic indicator on the US side of the screen (although it looks like a yellow card indicator), and the commentators got it right....you are wrong.

So what's the goal here? To force the opponent to strike and miss, or to land a strike? Or both.....

@bubbybumble616 Жыл бұрын

I'm 4 years late but the goal is just to hit the other person first (40 millisecond window of time where both can score, since it's epee and weird). Generally, attacks that look like they are only at 80% of their power are meant to be feints/false attacks and are to instigate a response either as a parry that doesn't find the blade or a counterattack that will open up target area. So in a way, yes the goal can be to force them to miss, but since there's no priority rules in epee it's more about getting them to attack poorly so you can hit them first.

krokodil The swords used are actually quite stiff and you can tell for the fact that they spring back into position after they bend them. Remember the reason for the swords looking flimsy or wet noodles is due to the fencers wrist strength allowing them to bend in the way they do. Professional fencers will use the stiffest blades available to increase point control.
