25 years later and Pozdnyakov's daughter is Olympic Champion in sabre too!

Back in those days, a lunge did not constitute the end of an attack as it does today. So, as long as the fencer continued to move forward, the attack remained in tact.

[@BetterExplanation]

Do you know when the rule changed or approximately when

[@BetterExplanation]

I think it was around mid 2008 immediately following Madrid Congress "At sabre, the definition of the attack has been slightly modified. Notably in a compound attack with a lunge(t.75.3.b) the hit must arrive at the latest when the front foot hits the piste. - the words “or immediately afterwards” have been removed."

May Sergey Sharikov rest in peace

Удивляюсь с Позднякова.Такой молодец!Занимаюсь в его центре!

[@homfencing]

Man....what a change. That touch at the 3:00 mark would be Sharikov's today.

[@johnjohnson6311]

Wasn't the last touch attack no for Pozdiakov? Why was it his touch? How did the rules differ from now?

[@ericdew2021]

Looks like Podz attacked, Sharikov parry-riposted, then Podz counter-parried and riposted. You can hear two clicks.

помянем Шарикова

[@puroboludeo1]

You could do a bishotka preparation back then (the jump forward with a slap of the foot after it) (sorry for my bad english). Now it is a shame that you lose the priority if you do it.

[@homfencing]

Yeah....but at the first NAC I went to after the switch, there was a lot of confusion by the refs!

[@TheBloodangel1945]

日文啊？

[@oseraphima]

These's fencers would obliterate the fencers of today(2018). Today most fencers are half-gay or gay. Not men like back in the good fencing days

[@matemindak384]

Can you explain what the fuck are you talking about?

[@hsin-helin4837]

WTF?!?!

[@peterlewis8006]

lol

[@Dd-ue4ct]

The fuck is wrong with you?
