Please do more commentaries. They do so much to help people understand the sport, the reffing and the skills of the greats. The enthusiasm of the commentators is contagious.
I love a harmony of commentators. Objective and insightful! The Korean team got the gold for the third time consecutively , AMAZING team...Also big congratulation on winning Tokyo Olympics games as well. Afengers!!
I was actually saying the other day that this bout should be analysed! One of my favourite matches and I got to see this live too! Thank you for doing this!
I know it’s been 5 years since this happened - but sorry, Hungary - the Koreans are on 🔥🔥🔥!!! The crowd made no difference here, but a nice component to have for the home team. Excellent job by the Hungarians nevertheless. 👍👍👍
Have very little hope of getting a truly honest answer but..... I've been watching fencing here and there, not an expert by any means; eyes still cannot see the touches. However, I am a big fan of the South Korean team. Regardless, I can only appreciate true competition. As I'm watching the olympics and past competitions, I always get the sense that the commentary always seem to subtly go against the South Koreans. It's not that anyone is being blatantly rude or disregarding their game and abilities but the nuances feel in favour of the opposition. At first, I thought perhaps it was just a natural sense I'm developing due to the fact that I am also South Korean. Accordingly, I've been rewatching a lot of these videos in order to perhaps prove myself wrong. Unfortunately I've not arrived at that point. The question is, am I wrong here in saying that commentators, professional or not, unconsciously disregard South Korea, or perhaps asian countries in general, as being a legitimate top fencing entity, and think that it is a white man's sport and so should always be won by a "white man" (the history). This is not an attack, but an observation of sorts. For example, I questioned myself whether if a caucasian or other race should top the TaeKwonDo competitions, as a Korean, would I also have similar underpinnings? The answer, I'm glad to say is, no. At most I would be sad to see my countryman lose but I would take pride in the fact that something from our culture is being appreciated and mastered elsewhere. With that being said, am I missing something here? Am I just missing the history aspect of fencing and so the sense that I'm getting is purely because teams like the Hungarians have long history and so the nuances are from wanting that familiarity to win; in other words, it's still too early to connect a Korean face with fencing together? I felt all three of you were really wanting the Hungarians to win; the commenting was all from their perspective; the South Koreans were merely an opponent. I would have expected at least one person would have said at the end, "the Koreans did exceptionally well despite the tough home crowd". Instead, all I heard was what good sportsmen the Hungarians were and how lovely it was for them to walk around and thank the crowd. Hello? South Korea just won World Gold!!!!!!!!!!!
My name is Lee Sang Jin. Lee is my last name but in Korean culture, family name always comes first. Oh Sang Uk is pronounced Oh-Sang-Wook. For the love of God, say his name properly or just say Oh kinda like Szilagyi. Nobody says Szilagyi Aron. Its also fine to say Sang Wook instead of the whole name. This is just some simple advice for future reference with Koreans.
