Why does the ref award no touch at 6:44?

[CyrusofChaos]

@silhuetto for everyone else the initial action occurred at 5:10 and to answer your question the reason is the seth made a parry as fabrice passed then missed his first riposte. the light came on because of his remise and only the first riposte can get you a touch after the person passes. same thing as the video kleibrink's flick, also on my channel except that kleibrink hit the first riposte

[silhuetto]

@CyrusofChaos Oh I see now, thanks :)

@foilist2009 Amen XD

[patrikkatona]

i'm sure that he ate 3 turkeys before start.

[Ballisticmonkey3]

Amen on the diet advice. He's not there my mistake though. He had the points to make the team and thus he went.

Kelsey did a excellent Job in this bout. Jeannet was easily the toughest competitor out there at Beijing, Kelsey had the unfortunate circumstance of fencing him right out of the gate. If he had gotten the riposte there he probably would have won the bout. Unfortunately he ended up suffering from, Fools rush In disease.

it is a shame that the US team hast not presented a better epee fencer for this Olympic Games. Kelsey needs to get on a diet and in shape asap.
