Frankkalani- Ward and Zagunis are teammates. In this bout and at this level it doesn't matter much, but against inexperienced fencers, left-handedness can sometimes be an advantage.

@27ladyknight that is more the case when fencing foil and epee because you have to change the angle you use to hit target. in sabre it is so easy to hit target that its not as big a deal

@CSLFiero LOL, it sounds very much as if she does.

[CSLFiero]

@gmecomber i think she called her a bitch!

[Jimkid118]

... now are you supposed to scream like that or is it just being pissed?

[gmecomber]

Apparent tantrum example 3:55

[gmecomber]

Good God, It's like two kids throwing temper tantrums, lol. Are they both screaming or is it just one? I can't tell.

[flowerangel506]

Im confused why were they screaming?

Mariel is a friend of my Mom, so we were watching this live in the middle of the night.

@CyrusofChaos trust me, i understand the differences between foil, epee, and sabre, and i also understand the nuances of fencing sabre as a left-hander. left-handedness doesn't make it easier for the leftie, per se, it just confuses the other person, if the leftie's opponent is inexperienced.
