Tokyo 2021 [FINAL] Kiefer (USA) v Deriglazova (RUS) | Olympic Fencing | Women's Foil Highlight

Highlights of the bout between Lee Kiefer (FIE Rank 2) of the USA against Inna Deriglazova (FIE Rank 1) of Russia in the Final of the Women's Individual Foil Fencing event at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
Deriglazova (age 31) is the reigning Olympic Champion from the Rio Olympics; has been World Number 1 for every season since the season of 2016-17; was World Champion in 2015, 2017, and 2019; and has won almost everything during this Olympic cycle. Deriglazova's coach Ildar Mavlyutov has recently passed away.
Kiefer (age...I donno 16?) is a very prominent fencer also. She has been ranked in the top 5 since the season of 2014-15, and was a member of the USA team that won the World Championships in the Women Team Foil Event in 2018. However, Kiefer has no previous Olympic medals and only one individual World Championships medal (from Catania 2011).

first thing she said to her coach was 'congratulations', class act

[@timmori2811]

Thanks for providing us with this footage

[@Dancingtuna]

You're welcome!

I don't follow fencing but i come back to occasionaly to hear her coaches affirmations

[@Dancingtuna]

Since no one has corrected me, I'm guessing that Amgad Khazbak really called Lee 'doggy' at 3:44

[@Pazzazz11]

Great interesting bout!!!

[@Dancingtuna]

Thank you!

[@COOLBEANSOFFICIAL]

1:28 I think should've been point right, the touch was made before the parry

[@jakuboronowicz8421]

I think he called the parry 8 she made before that

[@inscrutablemungus4143]

That wasn't the parry. The ref called the blade action just before (Kiefer's octave).

Kiefer has been working hard for so long. It's nice to see it reflected in a major result like the Olympics

3:02. Definitely attack right

[@pranshiarora5667]

Deriglazova pulled her arm back so attack no

[@inscrutablemungus4143]

I would've called simultaneous. Both stopped, both started at exactly the same time (I rewatched the video and they start within a couple of frames of each other). The ref might have counted Kiefer's little hop before the lunge as the start of a balestra in which case the call makes sense.
