Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

Very aggressive and impressive plan from Kiefer, completely knew from start to finish what to do. Maybe the best overall performance in the fencing tournament i have seen these 2 days.

Paris sure isn't helping the European nations in fencing. First 3 gold medals go to non-European nations. 

 

Maybe men's epee will be the first to go Europe. Should be a gold medal for  Borel.

Could anyone with knowledge care to explain what happened with Scruggs and Errigo in the quarterfinals? Errigo was screaming her lungs out of joy, Scruggs screamed 'Fuck!' a couple times, then they went back, did nothing, referee said something and Errigo went back to screaming but this time because she lost.

 

No idea what happened, because there was no commentator and so far all the fencers are non-stop screaming and celebrating and frustrated at the same time every point, so it's always hard to know what they're screaming about this time

Indian Olympic broadcatser is yet to figure out fencing as a sport. Hasn't even aired the medal matches so far. Pathetic coverage. Can't enjoy Olympics this way.

I am still not seeing the "home" advantage for Europe in any sport. Usually we are underperforming when it's a non-European Olympics, but for now it's an Asian showcase, with the Americas starting very good as well.

Another lost semifinal for us. Not our Games...
