[filipobrad]

thoght Limbach would win :(

[andrievskiysergey]

italy in italy, contr all world? and......)

[psibert]

I'm tired of seeing video replays which should obviously be overturned being kept. That appies her and watching over the referee's shoulders in Sheffield.

[syeeahx]

that was soooo not right omfg.

[marcolinonelz]

WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!

[syeeahx]

wow...

[syeeahx]

seriously??

[syeeahx]

WHATTTT???

[andreaheeming]

SUCH A SHAME. D:

[ddzaniel]

WHAT?!?!?!?

[marcolinonelz]

WHAT?

[eroomynohtna]

Montano always tries to finish with a flourish

[ddzaniel]

*waves pom poms for Limbach*

[gamma169]

whatever. leave it/

[gamma169]

But montano hesitated the touch b4

[marcolinonelz]

what weapon is tomorrow?

[NickEvermind]

@marcolinonelz mens epee the best :)

[ryan0601hk]

because italian home play?

[ddzaniel]

no its was montano.. they would have seen limbach as hesitation

[andreaheeming]

GO GERMANY !

[ryan0601hk]

it's limbach attack!

[gamma169]

same thing as last time. He called it together and then for montano

[gamma169]

pris du fer

[suspectzero09]

really?!

[suspectzero09]

wtf?

[suspectzero09]

abstained?

[gamma169]

I think it might have been parry.

[suspectzero09]

yup

[marcolinonelz]

atack limbach

[marcolinonelz]

like a fag :P

[marcolinonelz]

will Montano jump again?

[TheChampion1012]

foil is superior

[marcolinonelz]

bealtifull :)

[marcolinonelz]

foil is the best weapon

[syeeahx]

haha

[syeeahx]

but the off target thing is a pain in the ass

[NickEvermind]

saber always makes me laugh... both are cheering as soon as their lamps go on

[TheChampion1012]

foil is the best as it has a habit of combining both the speed and priority of sabre with the techniques of the point of epee and that is why it is superior

[syeeahx]

well I honestly love foil too

[danielto03]

agree with u ryan06

[gamma169]

Depends on what you like

[pushymum]

epee is chess!!

[gamma169]

It was a joke

[ryan0601hk]

epee is too bored for me..

[psibert]

I disgaree gamma169. I am (was) a good foilist and have fenced a fair bit of sabre and I find much of the decidion making a mystery!!

[syeeahx]

but its a fun weapon

[gamma169]

Let's just split the difference and just say that Saber is the best. :P

[syeeahx]

always depends on the fencers i guess

[salledarmes]

they always seem to end 8-7

[salledarmes]

how many epee bouts actually go 15?

[syeeahx]

ahah

[syeeahx]

epee and sabre !

[danielto03]

foil and saber are the best ones

[salledarmes]

foil to me is the most aesthetically pleasing

[pushymum]

2 words I wouldn't put in the same sentence

[pushymum]

foil balanced?

[syeeahx]

ewww foil

[ryan0601hk]

foil is the balance one:)

[pushymum]

to watch

[gamma169]

I like your description, but if it's explained and commentated well enough, saber can be much better for viewers.

[pushymum]

Epee is easiest to understand as a non fencer, sabre the most spectacular

[psibert]

To be honest maximusben1 - Sabre is spectacular but far too quick for a non fencer to understand who has the hit and why. Women's foil has become too pedictable and the cautious counterattacker dominates too much. Men's Foil is better, but there are still too many video referals which should be overturned but are not. Epee is the only viewer understandable weapon....... and I am a life long foilist!!!

[jiri1991]

i love montano's footwork

[danielto03]

true..

[maximusben1]

you fence worst because of that...it would be better to fence just sooner

[maximusben1]

actually no, you get cold in between

[jiri1991]

these guys must be exhausted, fencing all day, and having to fence their toughest match at 8:30

[maximusben1]

gu bon gil had won

[maximusben1]

when i went at the cad/jun worlds in korea, they made 1 and 2 in sabre

[jiri1991]

also Oh and Won

[jiri1991]

korean fencers are booming

[maximusben1]

gu bon gil will dominate at like 26

[maximusben1]

the kid is like 22 and got 1st cadet worlds, 1st junior worlds, and won many GP

[maximusben1]

gu bon gil will be insane in the future

[suspectzero09]

careful, the french guy beat him in the ny world cup before even though he's not in the final anything can happen

[gamma169]

Seeing as how yak was one of the favorites to win, making 16s isn't that great.

[jiri1991]

buikevich is a giant but he didnt win :P

[jiri1991]

yeah L8

[maximusben1]

the guy is a giant

[maximusben1]

limbach will win again

[eroomynohtna]

Also, WF sucks to fence and watch, so there's that.

[maximusben1]

yakimenko made it pretty far no?

[jiri1991]

i noticed

[salledarmes]

Yak had a meltdown

[jiri1991]

i was pretty surprised none of the russian sabre men made it to the semifinals

[maximusben1]

no, not at all psibert, even women find women foil boring, so they dont fence it lollllll

[pushymum]

Hi Paul. Been some excellent Wf this afternoon>

[psibert]

Unfortunately Italian domination is killing Women's Foil. Lowest entry of all weapons at just 106. Fencers cannot see the point in fencing WF as the Italians as soooooooo dominant.

[drysabre]

@psibert This is at least very strange statement. What a shame. Just FYI, I am not Italian.

[suspectzero09]

whens men's foil?

[maximusben1]

they keep distant like a mile apart...

[suspectzero09]

agreed

[maximusben1]

men foil >>>>>>>>>>> women foil

[jiri1991]

u guys wanna make a bet? i think montano is gonna win

[suspectzero09]

men's sabre is pretty damn good

[suspectzero09]

yea even though I fence foil

[jiri1991]

yeah!

[maximusben1]

now, let's have the real deal....men sabre, now we're talking

[11Tripolis]

stop hating!

[salledarmes]

that's about as close to Sicily as it is to Switzerland

[salledarmes]

she's from Ancona

[Galvistter]

the granny wins againg

[maximusben1]

women foil is the funniest of all...

[salledarmes]

in front of her home crowd?!?! lol

[suspectzero09]

like really?

[suspectzero09]

word

[maximusben1]

so anti climatic...

[suspectzero09]

dick move.

[salledarmes]

WHAT THE FUCK

[salledarmes]

zzzzzzzzz

[maximusben1]

she is retarded...

[maximusben1]

...

[syeeahx]

lol

[syeeahx]

she has to stop freaking out everytime

[salledarmes]

would like to see a winning touch rahter than time

[11Tripolis]

lol I missed the crazy shouting of V.Vezzali when winning

[salledarmes]

10 seconds left and you have a 7 touch lead

[salledarmes]

PUT YOUR MASK ON AND FENCE

[NickEvermind]

what is she waiting for... pretty boring. vezzali is a legend though

[suspectzero09]

sadly...

[salledarmes]

ugh, long review in a blowout match

[suspectzero09]

counter time + parry riposte flick to the shoulder = winning streak touch

[suspectzero09]

nope possible

[salledarmes]

counter six flick riposte to the back....maybe under the old timing, hahaha

[salledarmes]

oooh

[suspectzero09]

yea

[salledarmes]

is that the call?

[salledarmes]

ah, displacement?

[suspectzero09]

up jajajajaja yellow.

[salledarmes]

stop thrust

[suspectzero09]

que fuerte

[suspectzero09]

ooooooooof

[salledarmes]

:)

[salledarmes]

aha

[pushymum]

as to "textbook"

[salledarmes]

really?

[ddzaniel]

TheyIts like watching a training slot.. lol

[pushymum]

Just what David King has said on Eurosprt commentary

[salledarmes]

a beginner's move executed to perfection

[salledarmes]

four-riposte

[salledarmes]

textbook

[suspectzero09]

nope no comeback

[suspectzero09]

cause we know who is going towin

[pushymum]

bit of a master class....

[danielto03]

this seems to be as boring as epee

[suspectzero09]

el diablo

[marcolinonelz]

hu nice counter resposte

[salledarmes]

great great stuff

[salledarmes]

Wow, great stuff

[psibert]

Vezzali -frighteningly efficient. If she can win with this little movement she can take the Olympic title in 2020 and beyond!!!

[ThomasIndependencia]

on aime ou on aime pas : mais Vezzali,

c'est énorme.

[salledarmes]

wow, Vezzali is whipping ass

[marcolinonelz]

I think is game over now...

[marcolinonelz]

[danielto03]
