Siklosi is a deserved champion, but asking for that passivity card before the extra time was kind of weak. Why the hell would you want to win like that, even at a World Championship?
@@pingdingdongpong sorry, I don’t get it. Why was the ask legit? The last touch was only 7 seconds apart from the end, a minute didn’t elapse so why was the ask valid?
@@t.shirt23 Because according to the new(ish) passivity rules, you cannot show unwillingness to fence even for a few seconds. Yamada clearly was not interested in fencing the last 7 seconds, on the other hand, neither was Siklosi, so he was being ridiculous.
@@christianalbertjahns2577 He could have gotten red for slightly turning his back. He also, again slightly, moved forward to cause a corps a corps to avoid a touch. They were slight though.
