First of all, congrats to team USA and Kumbla for an amazing comeback. It's also really cool to see British foil potentially making a comeback with exciting young talents like Cook and Sosnov. I must say, I'm really not understanding the call of the action at 8:37, even though I have a clearer view of it in this vid than from the stream. Cook parries and then (for me) stops his backward momentum as soon as possible then goes forward. Misses his riposte, then Kumbla misses. Then Cook hits. Isn't that parry riposte from the left is no, remise right is no, remise left touche? Or is this more of a "no one has right of way" type of situation since they both missed, and the call is that Kumbla started his remise before Cook did? Curious for a perspective from someone who agrees with the call and/or understands it better than I do.
So you can hear me say this in the video but there is a recurring uncommon situation where both attacker and defender miss their attack and counterattack (respectfully) at the same time. Nearly every single time this happens the referee gives right of way to the fencer who missed the attack. So essentially the call was this: both fencers beat the blade. Attack and counterattack miss, remise of attack and remise of counterattack, remise of attack touche
@@CyrusofChaos Lol I literally skipped the part of the video where you explained that because I came to this vid having already watched the bout from the stream and wanting to ask that specific question. I just watched the action and skipped ahead to see if the ref's hand signals illuminated the call at all (they didn't). Watching it again I'm realizing I was too focused on Cook's action and missed that Kumbla also went for the blade. Given that Kumbla beat and was coming forward, the call of beat attack no, counterattack no, remise right makes sense. Thanks for writing this out even though you literally said it in the video 😅
The hit at 43-40 is really crazy. Playing it back at half speed it's hard to see how it isn't simultaneous.... The end to get to 44 goes to show how useful those drills are where you work on ten seconds to score, then five seconds to score, then two seconds to score.... At the end of priority, I don't think Cook is doing himself any favors in the mental game by pacing around like a trapped lion.

@@alexthegreat38 not a problem, glad you found it helpful :)
Ur a beast for posting these so fast. Thank you!
Insane comeback, was rooting for US but seeing Jaimie just standing there after the bout was so sad
Yeah that hurt me too 🥺 still gonna highlight it though
So sad for GB 😢 we should have won that... Cook just needed to calm down and keep it together, but I think he got a bit excited at 44
It is an incredible bout! So happy I was there cheering for Samarth😄At some point, I didn’t feel he can make it!

Jamie sold world championships to Sam Kumbla in both the individual and the team event thats so sad ngl
In the exact same way both times as well...
gotta be rough lowkey rooting for the revenge arc ngl~
Head was on the medal not the foil
@@suda2849 unfortunately I agree
So sad to see Jamie was standing there
Sam's fencing really looks like his brother's style in this bout
Interesting. I had the opposite reaction from watching him this weekend
Damn, Cook really choked two medals against Kumbla
Unfortunately yes ☹️
goat
11:45 there is no way that was simultaneous
Agreed. It would have been more accurate to say abstancion
@@CyrusofChaos abstancion? What's that?
@@sour3000 "i don't know 🤷🏼♂️"
@@CyrusofChaos then why'd you say it? 😂
@ it is the formal way that a referee can say "i don't know"
