Seventh touch to Kieffer Volpi's blade hits too low on Kiefer's blade. If you touch on the lower quarter of your opponent's blade, that counts as your opponent's parry, not your beat or your parry. The replay here is excellent and you can clearly see Volpi's blade his almost on Kiefer's guard, so definitely too low.
At 4:53 am I crazy for thinking there's no way to interpret that as parry from the right? Lee is clearly initiating the action with her circular bladework and then makes the riposte?
The call at 9:50 is interesting. I guess in women's foil 2023, if the attacker beats in the bottom third of the defender's blade while the defender's trying to parry, the attacker keeps priority?
I’ve heard that if it’s unclear who beat that the point be given to the attacker. There’s a point though where it’s no longer a beat but a spanking parry. And I think that should have been given to kiefer.

I guess referees care less whether the fencer beats the bottom third of the opponent's blade, maybe it's no longer a significant rule
