OlympicsFan 782 Posted July 18, 2019 #84 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Disgraceful performance by Hartung, he was in command until 7:5, then he fell asleep until 7:11 and when he woke up again it was too late. Very surprised to see Dershwitz losing, but maybe the home advantage helped the hungarian guy ... The german athletes today were handed historically weak draws and still weren't able to profit from it, this once again shows in what bad of a state german fencing is in. I also have to say that i am very surprised to see that you don't have to be remotely in shape to be successful in fencing. The girl from Luxembourg and the guy from Iran both looked clearly overweight and still (almost) won a medal. For me sabre is by far the least interesting weapon, it is just too fast and for someone who doesn't watch fencing very often, it is most of the time almost impossible to determine who should get a point. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,155 Posted July 18, 2019 #85 Share Posted July 18, 2019 YES first ever World Championship medal for Iran in fencing. one of the sports I always loved to watch and few years ago it was impossible to think Iran can win a WCH medal someday. well done Moji we are lucky he changed his mind because he retired last year after the Asian Games. only his coach talked him to change his mind.

Quasit 849 Posted July 18, 2019 #87 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Interesting results, to put it that way. Wouldn't have thought all three, Russia, USA and France remain without medal today. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
