Germany win Bronze in Men's Fencing Team Foil - London 2012 Olympics

[@mrwizzardknight]

I just CAN'T stress enough on how much it upsets me, that fencing is SERIOUSLY underrated! :(

[@DahjerCanaan]

Nobody remembers how deadly a sabre or rapier are anymore in the world of fencing, aside from the flimsy foil the art of fencing I would consider to be the most deadly form of swordsmanship than any other. I guess slashing and cutting are more popular ways to kill somebody than simply stabbing, even though stabbing is more deadly accurate.

[@isaiahphillip4112]

It's underrated because to most people it looks like two people prancing around with a floppy sword swinging in a random and uncoordinated fashion. That's all I see, I understand the stradegy but it's just so boring. And most people who search up fencing are expecting some sort of Pirates of the Caribbean battle royal and are like,"Wtf is this?".

[@r.b.4611]

Alexander Irvine You're right, but I've watched fencing with my year in school in Wagga Wagga Australia, and they all laughed like they were watching some idiot belly flop into a pool from a large height when someone got a point, ripped his helm off and roared with pleasure. Made me feel rather uncomfortable as a fencer.

[@r.b.4611]

Alexander Irvine Seriously, naming is another problem, when I say fencing people think I build fences.

[@mrwizzardknight]

Did you know that there are some well known celebrities that do fencing for a hobby? Yeah! ;) They are, Tom Cruse, Will Smith and David Beckham! :D Yet unfortunately they lack the common sence to help wor promote wor sport and even if they did it STILL may not inspire others! :( I mean, come, ON....! Whether you choose foil epee or sabre ya STILL fighting with a sword and ya don't get hurt AS much, in theory and how can you NOT say that that's all totally badass? Huh?!

[@4tCa4mzUPqRZZo]

about a 3 second delay, for those that want to open two videos to watch it in sync.

Am I the only one who's audio is out of sync in this 1 video? I can hear the hits before they're scored :(

Bryn10, He was Fechtenmeister Pavel Luveitch, from Prague,CR/Dresden,BRD respectively.I met Pavel in late '72 after the Munich incident.He was a 'Renaissance' man in the truest sense of the word and instructed his charges with discipline & patience. In the photo, I stand to his right,(platinum blond with a rather serious glare). I am surprised that you remember me - or was it my Opa? He was a man of 'notoriety' shall we say? It was a great tournament. Best regards to a worthy opponent, drake b.

Still is. He's the youngest expert in the field. And quite brilliant.

[@elladan0891]

Thanks!

[@theantiantihero]

Very happy to be able to watch Olympic fencing, but could you please synch the audio to match the video? It's difficult to watch this way.

[@Lukeeiiee]

the commentary should either not be there or be louder. also the title of the video shouldn't reveal how it ends for those who don't know

[@Robin-kp1nv]

Sound is out of sync. And i CANT WAIT for Olympic Games 2016 :D

[@dogestranding5047]

Greetings from 2016.

Bryan Wheelock Greetings from 2018. How’s it going?

[@jasonkao1667]

Alex Massialas is younger than Race Imboden, and has a higher rank than him both internationally and in the US.

[@lilaclover1018]

What ticked me off the most was the didnt put the left handed fencer on the left but on the right :-[

[@dudeofvalor9294]

Team event I imagine they would not swap ends. It does help having the left handed fencer on the left, but not essential to ref (plus video replays help).

[@icebear3281]

There are left handed fencers on either team. Pick your poison.

[@DaxenSama]

I actually turned off the sound so that it doesn't spoil the results..

[@user-jl2wd1it8h]

In Africa I train running with hippo

[@giod2200]

Actually irascible1e the bottom part of the mask where the flap is that protects your neck is target but not the whole part of the helmet just the bottom half of the flap. Most of the electric mask indicates it with gray on it like the vest.

[@funnymaffia]

Epic music at the begining!!! How it cals?

[@Joshua-th4vn]

usa mask is dope

[@kyrebanorgg]

They must not suck too bad, they were 4-5 against Germany going into this bout, and made it to the bronze medal round. I don't consider that "sucking".

[@lorcan454]

Fix the audio please.

[@pr0gengoo96]

How come the Olympic channel has such horrendeous lag in audio

[@walmartian555]

I remember the hype for the team beforehand... Imboden was a so called prodigy.

[@Keevthe6thunderChristJesus]

US got so much faster and aggressive in rio

[@dcfan7921]

@Mihai Toader it is actually an attack on preparation as the German attacked the American had a preparation and parried during the Germans attack when the American hit the referee had already called halt therefore what would have been a counter reposed if the German missed and the American hit

[@pirateflexpool6395]

*When the Sound Editor sells crapes in london*

[@noahgollnick719]

i have a question, if there is anybody who knows a bit about foil fencing: in one Scene, a German hits the American while the American´s Parade. After that, the American hits. The judge decides a Parade-Riposte, but isn´t it a mal Pare (throgh the Parade)? i´m really not sure, and i don´t want to decide wrongin similar situations...

[@mihaitoader7785]

It's parade riposte because he paraded the foil and hit. Only if he hit later so that the machine wouldn't register it than it would be Germany's obviously.

[@hushpuppysam5044]

The point would've been awarded to the German only if the American Parried AFTER the hit landed.

[@icebear3281]

Mihai Toader Parade? It’s called a parry.

[@apothneisko]

Noah Gollnick mal pare isn't a thing anymore. All he has to do is make an audible sound when he hits the attacking blade

[@jacobb8209]

i'd say your right

Why did Buchmann get a yellow at 13:14?

[@BraydenTang-t5n]

WHY DID IMBODEN LOOK LIKE PRESENT DAY MASSIALAS, EVERYTHING IS ALIKE AND MATCHES

[@thegutlessleadingthecluele7810]

Min 12:34 Stop BlitzKrieg ! Yellow Card. Ok

[@thegutlessleadingthecluele7810]

Olympic spirit has flared up again! Stop all wars and send your best to the arena for a sporty exchange! As long as the games last, peace on all warfields.

It's not hoosh tush like touch in French not sure what the French spelling is tho just guessing

[@candibles]

What? You mean Touche?

[@icebear3281]

Touché point

[@ericli3053]

what does hoosh mean

[@icebear3281]

Eric Li ITS TOUCHÉ

[@irascib1e]

The mask is not target in foil.

[@icebear3281]

irascib1e It is

[@Dancingtuna]

The commentators are so useless. Yes it might help people who've never seen fencing before, but describing what happens without actually describing what the fencers were actually doing.

[@noahgollnick719]

you must see, in most of all channels there are no fencing experts. I think it is a normal Sports Reporter who was in London for the Olympics, an he is commentating because there has to be someone commentating. I don´t think there are enough People at Television knowing what is a Cavation, Badutta or Prime ;)

[@Miokien]

Well, uh, US has got some neat masks...

[@bestchoicecleanerwu2314]

Usa is trible

[@UberBoss231]

Do you fence?

[@boxproductions8443]

Patato Head I do.

[@shxnxbxfxn]

You can’t just say USA is terrible, they put in a lot of effort to win

[@robinhoodstfrancis]

The Americans were sloppy, and weak on the fundamentals. I mean, who needs to parry in the main line of attack? At least the Americans looked cool waving their foil and getting stuck....

La Flarb_19 Okay

[@0001Anais]

The only issue about putting the flag on the mask is that it just isn't elegant. It doesn't fit the usual grace and style of fencing.

[@icebear3281]

0001Anais It’s fencing. Elegance doesn’t matter the skill does. Fencing was not made to be like ballet and be changed because of people who care about how good the fencers look instead of paying attention to the skill.

[@Celler2]

Painful to watch. sync

[@donsagucio8619]

see no evil baby

[@jackpleus8485]

I want actual long sword fighting in the Olympics not to the death but somehow safe

[@DudeOfX]

putting the flag on the mask is not a good idea, its the same as giving a picture of yourself to your opponent so that he can put it on a wall and throw darts at it.

[@icebear3281]

DudeOfX What?

[@ekacyclevlog8602]

voice............... veryyy baaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddddddddd

[@thegutlessleadingthecluele7810]

at that day fore sure. xd

[@shxnxbxfxn]

No, the US team put in a lot of effort train and bow in the olimpics . I can say they are not bad at their standard they are ok

Then we won bronze at the next two olympic games.......and what Germany do? 😂💪🏾🇺🇸 🇺🇸
