European mens foil team final 2007 - bout 5

[Zionpohl]

I need some explaining here:

Joppichs first red card: in the slow mo you can see that hes just doesn't have the space to stop his forward movement with Hkovansky moving forward and turning his shoulder too. you can see that he just can't help it to make one more little step forward with his right foot.

About the second red: do you need to face your opponent with your back? In the slo o it looked like he was spinning around just as his opponen tpassed by so his back wasn't technically facing him.

Great combat, nice comment!

Joppisch is great, but so darn delicate.

Joppich is all over the place this bout.

[IainShovelin]

Joppich's counterattacks with body evasion are well timed.

The Ref makes correct calls on the showing of his back and corps 'a corp...

Fantastic stuff!

joppich doesnt seem to do as well in team events.

is this in St. Petersburg?

I think it is a bit annoying the way Joppich keeps stabbing and slashing when he's close in. It's not very stylish.

Ok...what...are the guys providing the commentary first timers. They don't seem to understand much of anything

[violindude415]

ya, i noticed that too

I think joppich would win as he got a 3-0 lead at first.But he lost at last because he get 3 cards :(

2:58 - 3:07 is some amazing fencing skill. I actually saw this live on tv when i was in germany. Joppich is nasty.
