Fencing: Men's Epee Team | Rio 2016 Replays 

Omg ty.. U just spoke facts tbh

Cap

Fax

@@neontrain nah its not cap, its insanely hard to learn and takes a lot of skill

@@MayoMadeIt Thats true, fencing is really hard

É outra coisa!

yeah that was incredible

I’m glad I’m not the only one

I love the part when one of the commentators said "Unbelievable!" after Park Sangyoung touched Imre with his lance, causing Sangyoung to win gold medal at the Fencing Men's Epee Indiviual.

@@alphanimtheskykid one of the most epic finals ever without a doubt. I can't find it anywhere and I wish to see it again

@@paulabocos6126 I seen that event on the official Olympic Channel website, but has never uploaded to RU-vid before. I heard about the Seoul 1988 Opening Ceremony will start premiering on RU-vid by Olympic beginning June 1st.

@@alphanimtheskykid I'll keep searching... I hope in Tokyo there'll be more epic moments as this one

@@paulabocos6126 Tokyo 2020 has the best opening ceremony beginning in 2021, and that would be the most stunning ceremony. I also loved the Atlanta 1996 opening ceremony because the song "Welcome to the World" was considered to be my favourite song as part of the Atlanta Welcome Wave segment.

No we don’t!

The main difference between epee and sabre is that sabre has a thing called "right of way" or priority whereas epee doesn't. This means that in sabre when two opponents attack ar similar times, the one with priority gets the point. One of the ways to get priority in sabre is to lunge into your attack to make it look more aggressive and they usually get the point. another reason is that in epee, you can only poke your opponent but in sabre, you can slash your opponent with the side of the blade so it is easier to hit opponents which makes defending difficult so in sabre, both players go for the attack and the round ends quicker.

Epee = whole body is legal target, no right of way, first to hit gets point (there's like a small period where both can strike each other), point of sword only Sabre = waste up is legal target including arms and wrists, right of way means the first to initiate an attack has right of way until a defense is made or the attack missed, side of weapon or tip are legal to strike with. Foil = torso only is legal target, no legs no arms. Right of way is in effect, point only to strike.

@@bat_gamer_2254 thank you

@@valjean76 thank you

@@valjean76 epee is the most interesting for me, since the player is more defensive and just focus to get point instead of to get priority. This make the fight is longer, instead of the quick fight of sabre or foil that ends with both player cheering thinking that they got the point

Perhaps they will broadcast it, given that next Monday, they will pass the opening ceremony of Seoul 1988. Anything is possible!

zenoNiME at least you tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would like practice fencing.

Pain relief

Hahaha

No

Yes they are using pistol grips

@@asteriskon9668 ah thank you

I guess he wanted his lance arm strong

He wasn't doping. It was proved after the Olympics

Yeah, Badminton and tennis shoes can be used for fencing.

Shoes is not reglamented.

By that logic bowling isn't a sport either, they only bowl twice a minute. And sprinting isn't a sport, they only run for ten seconds!

They may fight for a minute but they do it a lot of times adding up to a lot more than a minute, and even in a few seconds a lot can happen

I stand corrected

@@feemvwj11 lol

Try it you're going to understand why it is a sport 😄

No practico este deporte, pero decir que es ridículo es prepotente y estúpido a partes iguales. Cualquier deporte de este calibre es una expresión cultural de todo un proceso histórico que ha llevado a la población humana a disfrutar en conjunto de dicha actividad. Aprende a apreciar este tipo de expresiones culturales con una mentalidad un poco menos peyorativa.

@@antonioaguilarrigaud6632 Que ha llevado a la población humana, pues no, porque solo es una porción, y lo que para mí es ridículo puede que para otro no lo sea, sigue siendo válida mi apreciación. No tengo que aprender a apreciarlo mientras mi opinión no interfiera con el gusto de otros, todo está bien. No es prepotencia, y no deberías sentirte ofendido porque yo lo vea así.

@@siasdiane7431 no, si no me ofende que lo veas así, sino la poca validez de tu sentencia inicial "Deporte ridículo". No digo que tengas que aprender a apreciarlo, y puede no gustarte este o cualquier deporte; en ese aspecto no hay problema. La cuestión fundamental es que en dicho comentario planteas que un deporte es ridículo como si significase lo mismo a que este deporte no te gusta, lo cual es un error: que no te guste es una opinión, y que sea ridículo es una crítica peyorativa. Si sigues intentando afirmar la supuesta ridiculez de este deporte, argumenta el porqué de la cuestión, no lo lances al aire como si se pudieran adivinar los motivos de dicha crítica.

@@antonioaguilarrigaud6632 ya lo dije, para mí puede ser ridículo para ti no, pero como quieres arreglar esto?. Con palabras o sacamos los floretes, sin traje sin nada, yo prefiero las espadas. Allá tu si te parece de otro modo, como le vas hacer si me sigue pareciendo ridículo?.

@@siasdiane7431 tu respuesta indica que no me has leído o comprendido, o que directamente tu comentario inicial es estéril. Una pena, ver que simplemente no sabes qué hacer cuando te piden que fundamentes tu opinión, porque significa que ni siquiera has tenido la decencia de razonar tu propio comentario antes de lanzarlo. Dejo la conversación, pues simplemente no aportas nada.

This is because you have not been patient enough! The first match [Ukraine vs.Hungary] is the contest for the bronze medal; and following (from 57:02 on) is the match [Italy vs. France] for the gold and silver medal. __ .

@@christianfournier6862 Oh.... my friend....I watched the entire video. I'm referring to the fact that the person who won for France is himself NOT French. Thus, France, The French, did not win.

@@clutrike7956 = The team is definitely made of men with the French nationality: that’s quite enough for me. For centuries, there has been famous fencers born in the French West Indies: Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799) has been a celebrity in Paris at the end of the XVIII th century, directing his own fencing school. If you are one of those “typically French-bashing” Americans, jealous of our French athletes born in the French West-Indies, I trust that - by the same token - you won’t cheer for Athing Mu at the forthcoming (2021) Tokyo Olympics: she is a very talented American national, born in Trenton (NJ), but her parents immigrated to the US two years before her birth and she is entirely of Somalian ascendancy!… This having been said, she is a very articulate and mature college student with stellar performances on the track. Every American should be proud of her - as I am of my national Épée fencing team! __ .
