Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Faramir 376]

Will Muhari repeat Cannone's feat of winning gold after entering the Games only because of a teammate being caught doping? Let's see.

Trying my best, but can not understand a single thing.

 

I´ll give it another 15 minutes of chance though

Just watch the lights, it's what I do to know who scored first

The French public booing the opposing fencers is simply depressing.

Foil - torso* only

Epee - whole body* and no other rules basically. Whoever touches first scores the point.

It’s quite simple for the most part. 
 

Green means you scored the point, and red means you got hit.
 

White on the other hand, isn’t as clear. It means the hit was outside of the piste.

Green and red are for the two fencers. One has the green, the other has the red. White means touch in an off target touch (invalid area).

 

But in sabre and foil, hitting first doesn't necessarily mean you win the point.

Another mistake 

 

Thanks for the correction buddy!

Muhari looking reaaally strong today. But it will be difficult against Candassamy (eventually) and an excited crown.
