To make this achievement even more amazing, look at the world rankings of the people he beat: he beat 9th ranked Limardo, 7th ranked Verwijlen, 2nd ranked Bida, 3rd ranked Reizlin, and finally 1st ranked Siklosi. He could not have had a more difficult route, and yet he pulled it off. He beat the entire World Top 3 in a row.

[@krszam4112]

yep, Cannone’s style is very soft, elegant and fast, there are fencer like him, Minobe or Mohamed Elsayed and other fencer that have a different style like Pizzo. Firstly it depends by the grip that they use, Cannone use french grip

[@zedasy738]

Yeah, he’s so quick and he can lunge pretty far. That would explain how he beat all the top three best fencers.

i love that little move Cannone does where he tucks himself into a little ball and goes for the legs, makes him a much smaller target and takes advantage of his opponent's sturdier build and height.

[@EstellammaSS]

Ducking makes your hand closer to their feet as well, it’s much easier to go for leg touch whilst ducking. The down side is that you’re very committed then.

[@custer3176]

The first hit is so nice. It almost looked effortless

[@CozyRogers]

Amazing come-from-nothing story aside, Cannone's style was so exciting to watch. Quick movement and outside-the-box tactics. Even just watching his footwork alone and comparing it to his opponent's -- it's as if he's a rabbit or something.

[@stopbeingasimpgetsomehelp6046]

[@piperna5786]

It's customary in fencing to do so

[@felixlee9645]

It is?

[@eddarby469]

I believe that is called The Imperial March. While lightsaber duels may be the most iconic fencing exhibition of our age, I consider this to be beneath the dignity of the Olympics.

[@andrewlu498]

[@cheesy713]

22:29 Coach over here sounding like the Werehog losing a life. Anyway, while I was rooting for Siklosi (due to the green color of his helmet), Cannone did an impressive job, here. His style can best be described as aggressive and lightning-fast, and the fact that he won a Gold Medal at his *first* Olympic Games is an incredible feat!

[@zilliq]

Everytime I watch fencing I'm surprised how short the match is, 3 bouts of 3min and 15 points happens so fast, 16min total with time-offs. I wish there was more

[@joephilips7265]

it's the meanest timed counterattack I've ever seen is what it is balling up and going for the chest is pretty common fare in foil where it's a counterattacking strategy and it's more effective because target's only the chest... pulling it off here was ballsy

Seems like Siklosi kind of lost his touch near the end. Rushing his touches, lunging from too far away or without proper preparation. Obviously, incredible performances from both of them though. Certainly two of the best in the world.

[@thecheekychinaman6713]

Wondering if it's fatigue but probably not given level of competition

[@neilweaver2356]

@@thecheekychinaman6713 Oh, fatigue is definitely a possibility. The days leading up to the finals is incredibly stressful. Not just physically, but mentally too. Nerves, weariness from continuous concentration, and of course muscle exhaustion all play huge parts, especially towards the end of a competition.

[@kwanarchive]

Matt Easton of Scholagladatoria needs to watch this. He keeps going on about how epee's short timeout duration means that epee fencers will somehow charge towards each other recklessly and end up doing double hits, were it not for the short timeouts. Yet most of the hits here were not reckless, and clean, unlike other fencing weapons...
