I’m sure you’ve all read about this Competition all over the net, so I’ll cut straight to the bit that matters – how do you win? In Comments below: 1. answer the question: Who took a Bronze medal in Mens Wheelchair Events (sabre or foil) in 2000, 2004 and 2008? Hint: He also won a Bronze Medal, his first, in Olympic fencing atSeoul 1988. If you don’t know, you will find that the answer is given in the video. 2. Say why you want to attend the event. 3. Say [...]

Rather a sweet video of the making of the Olympic Park over the years of preparation. This was released as part of the countdown to Olympics, 5 days before the Opening Ceremonies. This has been a very mixed Olympics. Some wonderful moments and some terrible ones. The Pentathlon is going on as I write so please forgive any typos. If you think it’s a nice ved, then please feel free to share it with your friends….
Modern Pentathlon consists of 5 different disciplines streamlined into 4 Events, all completed in a Single Day. The Mens Modern Pentathlon Day is 11th August, the Womens, 12th August, the Last Event before the Closing Ceremony. The event starts at 8.45am with fencing – a Single Hit épée bout, the winner being the first to score a hit. Easy, one might think, in comparison with most fencing bouts - but in Pentathlon, each competitor must fence against every other competitor. That’s just the start. Immediately after 2 intensive hours of fencing, the athletes swim [...]
After all the drama, doom and gloom surrounding extra time or “sudden death” in the London 2012 Olympic Fencing Events, not to mention the controversy over how “whippy” a foil blade “ought” to be, I thought that we could all do with a good laugh. In this glorious short animation (or ‘cartoon’ as non-movie types tend to call a film form of this type) we see a foil bout in which Olympic admin would unquestionably decide that the blades were too “stiff”, and a memorable last second which provokes laughter, [...]
Holly Buechel was watching and filming as the never-to-be-forgotten controversial decision was made which has caused more debate and dissention in the fencing world than ever seen before. If anyone is competent to call on a hit, Holly is. And yet… I have to say that this Olympics has been absolutely plagued by more impossible decisions for referees than can easily be imagined. Decisions that went to Stop-Time Video Replays and still you couldn’t see what was what. I was sitting right behind the referee’s box for Womens Foil as [...]
Another attempt to explain fencing to the general public by The Guardian. They’ve gone to the trouble of making a video, and better yet they asked Great Britain sabre Olympic competitor Chrystall Nicholl to explain the rules of sabre, epee and foil. Also how the scoring system works – and the basic terminology (along the lines of En Guarde means Begin). As evidence of fencing’s growing popular appeal, this is a wonderful development. But since they were going to so much trouble, why, oh why, didn’t The Guardian actually make fencing [...]
