I’m so proud to have been in that audience. My dad is wearing an orange shirt in 1:24 ; left of the RUS letters
heh heh, not a good idea running into someone as big and solid as Kruse ;)
Having fenced in the 80s and 90s I'm happy to see a change from the annoying midback flicking era.
Kruse drives me nuts the say he immediately gives up ROW off the line. When he takes ROW back, he certainly seems to know what to do with it and finish.
What a legend
this is what a bout should look like. well matched fighters
Great win Richard!
Они что в супермаркете в уголке обустроили слревнования?🤷♂️
The UK was a non-entity in fencing 20 years ago but now this.
Kruse is so classy
Timur safin needs to forget the flick and doo more directly attack
Kad_12 Yeah, when he started to keep his point in line, he was landing more touches
Not so simple with the height's difference ;)
Karel Ziminsky if you see, he miss like 5 points only for try to do flicks, and srry for my english, i'm spanish
But nowadays, If you don't flick, it's so hard to push opponent.
MY SPORT
Wtf was that moan at the first touch
Why do they look so serious lol, it's like they don't even want to be there
I think there is just so much pressure to win the bout. It takes 15 touches and you have to keep a level-head through the ups and downs of the bout.
Logos AO that's true, I guess that's what I enjoy about playing at the college level, it's stressful but still tends to be fun.
It's not only that as well but these world cups in particular are so important to their world rankings. Not just for the world championships this year but for the Olympics too. Now that we are halfway until Tokyo, these guys are trying to maintain their spots for when it rolls around.
well they got very excited when they won in the competition so why would they want to leave
what’s with introducing the referees as if they are more important than the fencers
Well, fencers come in first, and referees have hard work, self-explanatory
no other sport does it they should get a mention but eh nah it’s dumb
@@LancetFencing ok so.
1. I've always been taught, and it's been repeated to me by every Maitre d'armes I've ever had, that you need 3 people to fence : 2 fencers and a referee. The referee (here, referees) deserve the same respect as the fencers, and it's part of the fencing etiquette.
2. They announce the name and the nationnality of the referee. The nationnality is obviously to make qure there is no conflict of interest. But it's quite deeper than this. There are a lot of different ways to referee fencing, ranging from whether you tend to give simultaneous actions more often than not, whether you give some cards that seem a bit harsh, ... In this case, this referee in particular seems to say halte to corps a corps from the very beginning, not letting the fencers have any time to bend around trying to land a touch. Some refs would give more time. The fact that international refs' names are announced allows everyone to be able to catch onto these kind of specificities and know what to expect, since refs are usually very consistent in these specificities.
3. I don't have a lot of examples in mind, but in football (soccer ?) for example, the refs' names and nationnality are all given on the screen and often read out loud by commentators.
