Until 'halt' is called, you can hit however you like. If you're being overly aggressive and jostling your opponent you can be carded, though. Charging in by crossing legs as per Britta (a fleche) is a completely legitimate and awesome way to score a point. Starting before the allez, however, is not so legitimate. | ||

With an aging generation, it was bound to happen but that's a real surprise. Let's hope the upcoming changes in training and structures will prove fruitful in Rio. In other news, GB almost beat Italy and Japan beat China ... | ||

A bit shocking that France didn't get medals this time around. They'll definitely need new blood in their team for the next Olympics. And the pistes were fantastic. Overall a great tournament despite some judging shortcomings. | ||
