Exciting final! These two always put on a good show.

Thanks for posting.

Joppich is my favorite fencer!

[TheMrChamallow]

What a match !!!

[Trulyloyale]

and related application of timing / distance ( which is performed mechanically by sabreurs ) . Foil and Sabre are just two different planets in comparison , thats what Fencing is ......

[Trulyloyale]

who finds more difficult technical specs ( or " aspects as you called them ) in Sabre since in this last one they are almost overwhelmed by those specific physical abilities I've already told you about !

And at last footwork is basic for any fencer, no matter what weapon he competes in : its like the wheels of a byke a cyclists run by . This said , this last point just enforces what I said : in sabre footwork along with other pure fence skills got submitted to speed & force of attack

[Trulyloyale]

And Foil being the most difficult technically & the most prestigious weapon is not a claim of mine , its nothing less than a holy truth in Fencing , not my fault if that doesn't suit your wiills or those of people from countries with lesser traditions

in this sport : that's 100% and it can be denied by nobody .

And beyond any personal turning from Sabre to Foil ( everyone has his different tastes and sporting skills ) I think you're the one in the world

[Trulyloyale]

@Voiv quite a bizarre comment by you , with nothing but senseless and clueless personal statements inside , which makes think that you have no idea of what you're talking about .....

I never reached any conclusion , I have been just talking of true objective issues and not of personal statements : I explained to you a bit of fencing basics that you looked to be told about which may not be changed by your wills or by those of everyone else !

[Voiv]

@Trulyloyale I agree in part, but I don't think I reach some of the same conclusions as you. The point I was trying to make is about your claim of Foil being the most technically superior. I'm a Foilist recently turned Sabreur and I find some of the technical aspects of Sabre MUCH more difficult then in Foil. For example my footwork, which was always one of my biggest weapons in Foil is only considered average for a Sabreur.

[Trulyloyale]

That because of the different valid targets of the 3 weapons : sabre is more a physical weapon, the assaults are unbelievably fast , you need to be explosive rather than skilled about blade-work to succeed in this weapon, that's why the sabristes have more muscled bodies compared to other fencers .

Different levels of fencing abilities & required skills : beyond the fact that a medal is always a medal , in fencing world Foil is reputed the most prestigious and difficult weapon, epee beside

[Trulyloyale]

@Voiv you're right , in fencing its an enormously broad term : fencing is made of

all abilities you named ( possibly at highest rate in a fencer, which in fencing is as rare as a diamond, V. Vezzali f.i. can be rightly considered the emblem of perfect fencer 'cos she does all those things in a fantastic way ) but the 3 weapons require different levels of pure blade-work and application of timin/distance ( obviously upon the basic continuous footwork ) .

[Trulyloyale]

how could this substance be in his blood ?  The one logic explanation

is that someone tampered with the energy drink bottle Baldini took from : he was predicted gold medal at Olympics and he was in a fantastic shape that summer and such internal affairs or tricks or conspiracies have always been on Olympics , even more in such sports as Track & Field or swim .....

[Trulyloyale]

@michwng right on your comment , in different comments I said ur same that it's

idiotic senseless & bizarre to think Baldini doped , which has been remarked by those who know nothing of fencing ! The supposed conspiracy with the doping , you said ? Well a conspiracy is always supposed until not proven, but if anybody ( not just fencers, but all people fond of this sport ) knows that doping is useless & harmful to best performance in fencing and so we assume that Baldini took no diuretic
