Slight correction: The video mentions that the women's epee event was first introduced in 1966 when we meant to say that it was introduced in 1996. Thank you to Judy O'Donnell for pointing this out!
A little fact Aladár Gerevich (16 March 1910 - 14 May 1991) was a Hungarian fencer, regarded as "the greatest Olympic swordsman ever". He won seven gold medals in sabre at six different Olympic Games. As a person he was a nice guy too.
The wireless system is really only used at high level events, and even then, we didn't see it at this years worlds, since it's made by StM -- a Ukranian company, and the war got in the way of them sending techs to the event. The vast VAST majority of events worldwide are held with the competitors physically connected to the scoring system.
The Modern Olympics were established by Baron de Coubertin, a fencer and duelist. Georges Santelli brought fencing to the U.S. in the 1920s when he immigrated to NYC and established the New York Fencing Club. Santelli had been Italian and Hungarian National Champion in Sabre, more than once. Santelli also began a line of fencing equipment that I think is still in business. In the late 30s, German National Champion Hans Halberstadt arrived in San Francisco and established a club there. He was followed by Helene Mayer who was many times women's champion of Germany and the world. Aldo Nadi fought a famous duel with a sports writer who had maligned him. His narrative was recorded in his book "On Fencing."
At 7:16 you start talking about foil fencing but showed a picture of saber fencing. But, the description of the target area is for saber fencing. Tiny inconsistency, doesn't take away from the main point of the slide. Good video though
Swords are separate from fencing. Spain 🇪🇸 originated fencing. The Roman's/Italians invaded Spain. The romam catholic church banned fencing. The Celtics invaded Spain then the moores invaded including north Africa, Turks and Arabs. All of these backgrounds all historically claimed fencing yet all invaded Spain and some tried to ban it from its originators.
The 1800s of England 🇬🇧 & France 🇫🇷 came after the 15th - 17th century of fencing in Spain 🇪🇸 that was historically documented. The main invasions into Spain were the 15th - 17th century and entire century prior to the 1800s in England 🇬🇧 & France.
It was interesting and well-produced. You mispronounced Kárpáti's name, however. Hungarian names, like all Hungarian words, have their accent on the first syllable, not the second, as you have done with Kárpáti's name.
was it true about vezzali that it was becasue of her letting her mask bib get longer and longer (and covering her lame when the bib max length shoudl be collar bone i think) that is the reason we ALL have to have lame bibs for foil?

when they trialled a wireless system in Australia it was sabotaged by a guy called jeff g. as he had a remote (or so I heard.. years ago)

The Iberian Celts were in Spain long before anyone else, including the Romans.
Strange ... No mention of Aldo Nadi or any of his books

Thanks for the suggestion, we have an early outline for that video and plan to release it in the very near future!
OK, Maybe on New Year’s Eve or something else. Which do you want to upload it on?
Dueling never had rules that included a foul as with modern foil.
It was interesting and well-produced. You mispronounced Kárpáti's name, however. Hungarian names, like all Hungarian words, have their accent on the first syllable, not the second, as you have done with Kárpáti's name.

was it true about vezzali that it was becasue of her letting her mask bib get longer and longer (and covering her lame when the bib max length shoudl be collar bone i think) that is the reason we ALL have to have lame bibs for foil?
