@bobloblaw50 What?

[BeatlesAndCorgiFan]

I love watching this! She's just so happy! It makes me work that much harder!

[Angel0fAnarchy]

Would someone explain the touch at 1:50?

[CyrusofChaos]

@Angel0fAnarchy sada jacobson hit the blade and then made a riposte so she is given the touch. i thought it was a good call

[scbaldwin13]

I don't understand the scoring...

[CyrusofChaos]

@scbaldwin13 you mean you dont understand the rules of right of way?

[SilverSabre1220]

one of them is a large cat.

[Garboth]

Hot.

[PersianFury]

They both happen to be left handed. it's much easier for left handed fencers to accelerate in the sport due to the fact the it changes the game drasticaly for their right handed counterparts who (usually at least) practice mainly against other right handers.

[frankkalani]

do you have to use your left hand or are they both lefties?

[frankkalani]

They should real swords. Then the sport would get super duper popular.

[llawliet17cc]

@frankkalani yeah more spectators, less fencers :P

[NinjaFreak73]

When they both screamed, one of them sounded like a screaming girl and the other sounded like some jaguar lol

[SilverSabre1220]

@NinjaFreak73 i heard exactly what you're talking about lol i heard it around 1:40

[ninjaofthe9seas]

i cant believe she puts her saber to her side while she's moving forward. she's crazy. XD

[NinjaFreak73]

@ninjaofthe9seas Well the thing is, if your blade is down in front of you (like these girls are doing), it's a lot harder for the opponent to take control of your blade. However, this is best when you are much more skilled at fencing since your attacks can easily be called against you; such as being underpreparation or not establishing your attack right away

[ninjaofthe9seas]

whats the screaming about? anger or explusion of air?

[RaineSageFan]

@ninjaofthe9seas meh its more of like a battle cry like in karate when they say kai or whatever when they attack

[hkitty383]

WOAH...Zagunis screams LOUD.
