NCAA Fencing-Men's Foil-Gold Medal Bout: Willette v Meinhardt

[wynem]

i think the atack in 4:02 is for the right side

[CyrusofChaos]

@wynem what do you mean? david is doing a counterattack with a spin and gerek is just finishing his attack

[wynem]

@CyrusofChaos i don't see it like that

gerek only prepares, he does not stretch his arm

atacck sur la preparation, touchè, point

I think....

[CyrusofChaos]

@wynem but look at what david is doing, it is not enough to have the timing, it is what it looks like and david is spinning to minimize his target. to the director, even if the attack in prep is perfectly timed, it looks like a counterattack if you spin like that

[wynem]

@CyrusofChaos I can accept that reason

[thelegodude9998]

see that referee with the bald spot? Thats my dad. :)

[heraclez]

the flick at 7:23 from the right side is SICK!

[ToroQ3000]

The touch around 4:20 was way too close to call anything other than simultaneous.

[CyrusofChaos]

@ToroQ3000 looked like gerek did a fast straight attack and david finished late with a flick, no?

[ToroQ3000]

@CyrusofChaos No. It looks like they both started forward motion & established an attack at the same time, with neither reacting but simply attacking. David just lounged quicker; Gerek's arm is still in forward motion.

[CyrusofChaos]

@ToroQ3000 gerek also sold it a lot better than david did

[MrRwallach]

@ToroQ3000 i disagree i see no real presentation from the right i think that that is the right call... now that being said i think there were many bad calls in this bout.

[HaosSolaris]

@funkyelephant4 how so different?

[HaosSolaris]

DAMN!!!! That touch at :28 was beast...I love fencing lol

[rufi420]

is this fencing or running?

[CyrusofChaos]

@rufi420 this bout actually reminded me a lot of a slow sabre bout but this is the way gerek always fences

[michwng]

@CyrusofChaos reminds me of how Alex Mills used to fence.

[sanoichiro1]

i recognize that bald spot and waddle, thats Ahmgad ;)

[gnocob]
