In fencing no one is more outstanding than Italy. If not gold, almost always on the podium. The video speak for itself. This year they were not great due to internal problems within their confederation but still managed to win 5 medals. In 2012 women's individual podium was all Italian!
In Italy fencing is a very popular sport so is normal. In Epeè we only have Santarelli but in Foil we have three of the strongest fencer in the world. So happy to be from this country
@@krszam4112 it's not completely true. In statistical data Fencing is not even in the top 25 most played sports...and yet their technique and tradition is marvelous
I think it would've been helpful for viewers unfamiliar with fencing to explain that which light turns on to register a hit was reversed at one point. As you see in the earlier videos, the light on the touched fencer's side lights up, but it was later changed to light up the side of the fencer who scored (which is somewhat more intuitive imo)
Not really. It's a sport developed from early modern period schools of de*fence*. Hence, the name fencing. To your credit, they did evolve from medieval arming sword play, but medieval swordsmanship was more for battle and less of a civilian affair.
@I am from California India is best in Kabbadi and Cricket which sadly aren't part of olympics.. it's not only about medals..surely we are improving in other sports too...
@I am from California what nobody care about cricket and kabbadi.??? Lol ....if usa cannot play cricket or Kabbadi.. doesn't mean nobody cares 😂😂 ..one thing is surely true that indians have overrated cricket and dont consider other sports as carrier option... But things are changing... India has performed much better and bagged more medals than any other olympics already this year.
@I am from California those maybe less popular than football ...but those have their own fanbase.and for correction of your knowledge, cricket is 4th most popular sport.. and I'm proud that India is one of the leading team in that...also India is improving in other sports as well...i think you can see that .. don't you..??
@I am from California I don't believe in stereotypes but sorry to say... You seem like a typical American who love to bully and belittle others.. Get well ..and Get a heart...

Beautiful foil fencing 😍
Valentina Vezzali is the GOAT
Who do you think would win? Prime Vezzali or Prime Kiefer?
@@uerox8814 probably have to go vezzali, she's head and shoulders above everyone else as far as results go
Everyone wants to know:
Did the soviet union guy say *OUR MEDAL* ???

Fencing is the modern-day version of medieval swordsman fighting.

no, Fencing is a martial art. You’re talking about HEMA, this is modern version of medieval swordsman fighting

Lots of love from Griffin Drona YT.
im confused at the touch in 2:08, did he get the touch on the his first counter attack, or did he miss and counter attacked again and blocked out?
The lights are reversed back in the 80s and 90s. So if you got a touch your opponents light would come on
Vezzali italian queen
Yeah, had to check her out! Couldn't believe she won gold for 16 straight years!!
I wonder why you didn't go back to 1982?
Lots of love from Griffin Drona YT
