Luxardo Grand Prix 2022 SMS - GOLD - Gu KOR v Szilagyi HUN

[@mysteriousquestions6145]

Lol even the italian commentary I can't understand is better than David King speaking

[@alexthegreat38]

Right???

[@alexthegreat38]

You can at least hear excitement in their voice every time they say "Mamma Mia" (which I just assumed was a meme tbh)

[@mysteriousquestions6145]

@@alexthegreat38 lol yea and they have some vocal inflection at the very least

[@celestialtoystore]

Aron fences like a tiger. Best fight I've seen in a long time.

[@CyrusofChaos]

The bout was fantastic

[@hrsong8813]

@@CyrusofChaos definitely, I felt like Gu outperformed himself this bout as well, if he didn’t start having headaches he may have won

[@giovannilorizio8137]

What a match!

[@checkycheque]

Thank bro

[@CripTikRaZe]

put into .25x speed at 10:05, Gu and Szilgayi went at the exact same time...undeserved red imo

[@CyrusofChaos]

The referee didn't like that Gu was in the act of leaning over before he actually moved. But I personally think that a false start is based on movement with the feet

[@CripTikRaZe]

@@CyrusofChaos thats also what i thought, never knew u could give a yellow for leaning before u start, very interesting to know

[@CyrusofChaos]

@@CripTikRaZe though I've seen people twitch on purpose to cause the other fencer to false start. That's a card for the twitcher for sure

[@EstellammaSS]

The rules did say the fencers need to remain completely still after they come en garde before Allez is called, for what that's worth lol. Also I seems to remember some Romanian dude that rocks forward massively to get a faster launch and just stumbles or pretends to not hear the ref if he didn't time it right to force halt being called. It would be hard to police that kind of behaviors if you don't enforce it this hard i guess. If the fencer is rocking back and forward he can just say he's not ready whenever he starts slow and claim that he's still finding his balance etc.

[@Roberto-bf7us]

@@CyrusofChaos Is that what the ref said in French? Sorry my fencing french is limited to relatively basic terms like 'remise' and 'prise de fer'

[@anthony2384]

2:10 "Gu is attacking into preparation" My guy, AIP doesn't work like that in sabre. It couldn't have been more obvious that it was a line set up parry-rispote.

[@oldschooljeremy8124]

Strange to see one of the 'Iron Men' so beset with apparent physical impairment.

[@FabricioSalvatore]

Out of curiosity; Does anybody know which shoes Szilagi is wearing?

[@maxyoo9634]

Asics maybe

[@moXnoX1]

@@maxyoo9634 yeah, but which model..

[@celestialtoystore]

I'll find out next time I see him. Last time he was wearing Dart V like he's done for years.

[@celestialtoystore]

They're Blast FF2 in the black and orange colourway

[@FabricioSalvatore]

@@celestialtoystore Thank you!

[@skyblue9896]

What's wrong with Gu? Is he dizzy?

[@CyrusofChaos]

It was extremely hot in the room so I believe Gu was having a hard time with that

[@celestialtoystore]

@@CyrusofChaos Given how much plastic surgery he's had it's a minor miracle he didn't melt

well it happened before (in this season too) when he fenced our favorite old man Kim

@@CyrusofChaos ahh makes sense

[@Chilam.]

We need more enthusiastic commentators lmao

[@joeyboy69]

This started in English and switched to Italian commentary. Wtf?

[@CyrusofChaos]

I was using the Italian commentary stream because the English stream had an audio/video desync but for the first severa minutes of the Italian stream they had a lovely view of the wrong side of the piste so i begrudgingly grabbed the English stream, fixed the desync, and pulled out what I needed to fill in the video

[@oldschooljeremy8124]

@@CyrusofChaos - absolutely the right choice, even if aside from the fencing terms Italian is incomprehensible to me - it was still better than whatever the English commentary may have been, based on past experience.

[@joeyboy69]

@@CyrusofChaos thanks for explaining

[@Kkyylllee]

Why did gu get a yellow card, abuse?

[@CyrusofChaos]

No, he moved before the ref said fence
