Tokyo 2021 [Quarterfinal] Cheung (HKG) v Borodachev (RUS) |Olympic Fencing | Men's Foil Highlight

[@wongleo3874]

I have watched this match over 10 times but I still feel the intensity and nervousness of this unbelievable comeback. How good that is for the mentality. Well done by Cheung.

[@D3Z112]

That was an absolutely intense match, but a great comeback by Cheung.

2021: the lucky one 2024:THE LEGEND

[@UnkleRiceYo]

Honestly I'd say the other way around, Cheung was lucky to not lose the final at the very end in Paris, but in Tokyo he won fair and square

[@lastbot7383]

Chueng Ka Long’s finish is scary

[@Dancingtuna]

Yah and his mentality to carry on attacking when that far down is pretty scary too

[@garchompdude]

Watching this live and being a Cheung fan (I too am a tall lefty) probably took a few months off my life but good god this was a good bout. Side note holy shit Kirel went off this tournament. The ability he had to hit Cheung seemingly at will until the end on simple advance lunge is nothing short of impressive. He didn’t win a medal this go around but he made an impression this year.

[@Dancingtuna]

Well he did win a team medal at the age of 21 so I don't think he's too sad this time round. I wanted to watch his bout with Lee in the 32, but unfortunately I don't have it

[@garchompdude]

@@Dancingtuna I actually have it but it’s in the four block format. However I can direct you to someone who does..,

우와 대단하다

[@jooniec1228]

Magical match

[@michaelkoenig3070]

At 1:34, Borodachev moves forward, seems to have ROW, and his helmet flashes first when he hits. How did Cheung end up getting the point?? Someone please explain!

[@williamchua6380]

Cheung had the right of way and so was awarded the point. A key aspect of foil fencing.

[@samuell1894]

Cheung was marching forward, Borodachev moved forward did not change the ROW.

[@bng2021]

WHAT A LEGAND!!!

[@Dancingtuna]

Yah, this bout will be remembered for a while

[@jbond5834]

isn't it crazy comeback.

[@Dancingtuna]

Yep. Very impressed at how fearless Cheung fenced from that far behind

[@BlizzyFoxTF]

Nerves of steeeel

[@LoonaKissLater]

Cheung是最棒的。斗争

[@aayankapoor1717]

Wait why did bordovich loose a point. Like going from 9 to e8

[@lastbot7383]

Cheng got kinda lucky

[@Dancingtuna]

Well yah, but at the end of the day, it was a fun bout to watch and that's really all I'm looking for when watching fencing

[@dzfz2100]

@@Dancingtuna good athletes make their own luck ;)

[@Dancingtuna]

@@dzfz2100 like how he was born as a big lefty to professional athletes in a country which invested heavily in fencing

[@dzfz2100]

@@Dancingtuna I didn’t realise you were so anti-Cheung :P that said, Lei Sheng is also a tall lefty born in a country, etc. maybe it’s about time a short right hander won the olympics 😤

[@Dancingtuna]

@@dzfz2100 Nah. Not specifically Cheung. Garozzo was born in the fencing country and goes to the fencing clubs in that country with an older brother who was already in fencing, and I'd wager that his family wasn't stricken with poverty to be able to fund his early career in fencing. Everyone are lucky in someways. It's just a fact of life.
