If you pause the viseo on 1:43, you will see that Zhong is behind the line..

@EPRSwordsman i dont know what i can say to convince you then. once someone establishes right of way they are a lot more lax on what is called an attack. generally if one person is going forward and the other is going back they will not call preparation. especially one as slight as this one

[EPRSwordsman]

@CyrusofChaos Still I'm not that convinced. Zhong would have won on the next touch but if you are referring to the fact that Zhong was moving forward and Lopez was moving back, it would make no difference since the one who is extending the arm is the one who is attacking. (I'm guessing you might already know this cus you are lecturing me on this stuff lol) Just slow it down yourself and you will see what I mean.

Lopez has hops, I met the dude and he really isn't that tall

for all you jealous losers, electronics don't lie

@EPRSwordsman look man, even lopez knows it wasnt his touch. it doesnt matter what position the arm is in: zhong was attacking and lopez was trying to hit him in prep and get one light. if its not one light then it will almost never be called attack in prep. this is an olympic final and this director was being watched and scrutinized by every director in the world. lopez didnt even as for a replay. if the fencer who is scored against isnt complaining its not their touch
