Olympic Medal Count or GO Canada GO!

[--Pete]

Hi,

That's because Olympic fencing is so far devolved from classical sword tournament and technique that it has become, literally, an exercise to see who wiggles their metal whip past the other guy's first.

Yes, indeed, things have changed a lot since Hagar the Horrible bludgeoned people to death with his ten pound sword. You actually need to think to fence;)

When your only armor is speed, only speed will defeat your armor.
