Fun fact no.2: Behind a bullet, the fastest moving thing in the Olympics is the tip of a foil. Brought to you by the St Andrews Fencing association. I don't know about number 1. I'd like to know where that association came up with that fact because I can think of many other sports where the muscle density would be higher like Rowing for example. ._. | ||

Tomorrow is men's sabre right? I like watching sabre the most, it seems the most dynamic/fun, very fast and very simple. Five years of Kendo has made me appreciate the physical and mental toll sword sports/martial arts can take on you, how much strength and concentration it takes to score one point. Though there are huge differences competitively speaking. Absolutely no outward showing of emotion in kendo (you get automatic DQ for doing 1/10th the celebrating these guys do ^^ ), and of course you use two hands instead of one. Seeing as kendo will never be at the Olympics fencing has my absolute viewing interest. Will be rooting for Hungary in everything ^^ | ||

I doubt it's true, I'm pretty sure the Olympic lifters at the lower weight classes have higher muscle density.. | ||

Then I realized it was a VOD Vezzali was amazing. Scoring, what, 4 points? In under 15 seconds? And then that priority time. Vezzali not even bothering to bleed clock. I love it when fencers say "Fuck you" to the clock when they have priority and just score a touch. Amazing finals. | ||
