this video is only 4 years old and look how much saber has changed. apart from 1 or 2 bad calls towards the end and the timing change the way to ref has completely changed. Charikov gets many touches doing what today 2009 would be defined as attack no. he basically does a preparation half lunge and then renews the attack by recovering foward with a little skip like movement. This nowadays would always go against him. for an example of what i mean check out cyrusofchaos's videos from recent comps
Yeah. I've more here...but i'm feel lazy lately... I must upload the 2nd part of the final between Pozdniakov and Koniusz, the women's competition and the team competition final. Sooner or later will be avaliable.
