I totally dig Sid Kumbla's tactics and his ability to change the rhythm and speed of his footwork.

[@kevinzhou7442]

the balls of him to go for that on 14-14

Really wanted to see Meinhardt take it, too bad. Both are incredibly good

[@JustAmmonGibson]

Meinhardt had that last parry and riposte

[@elliotdavidson7538]

what was the card at 12:30 for?

[@SilverAoW]

All I can come up with is he dropped an F bomb

[@UnkleRiceYo]

Yeh it's for swearing

[@lastbot7383]

20:43 not parry riposte?

[@CyrusofChaos]

I also heard the blade contact before the light went on and he was clearly going for a parry. Idk 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@DonovanDeans]

@@CyrusofChaos I think the rationale is that Gerek is extending before the attack initiates with the arm from Sid, suggesting the intent for a counterattack-closeout defensive action. The contact I heard sounded like Gerek nicking the guard as Sid extends, making it LOOK LIKE counter-attack from left is on the guard, riposte/remise right, counter-attack-remise (no priority) left..touch right.
Edit: That is to say, it's a very gray-area interpretive touch and I think throwing it out, as they did is ultimately the fairest call given the situation. But if I had to call it, I would call it for Sid, and I could see Gerek feeling screwed on interpretation, so i'd also throw it out.

[@heraclez7750]

yes it was

[@lamb5225]

4：53，The right side has already made a lunge, which means an attack has been completed, and the left side has scored. The referee unexpectedly changed the judgment, which is something I didn't expect.

[@lamb5225]

Simultaneously with the counterattack posture

[@CyrusofChaos]

The initial call was attack from right no, counterattack from left, touch. After looking at video he changed the call to attack is off target

[@lamb5225]

thank!!!!@@CyrusofChaos

[@kishu6768]

Why do they keep restarting the point?

[@adjd1576]

If it's off-target they start from where the action left off
