Tokyo 2021 [Semifinal] Cannone (FRA) v Reizlin (UKR) | Olympic Fencing | Men's Epee Highlights

Highlights - Semifinal of the Men's Individual Epee Fencing Event at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
On the Left - Romain CANNONE of France (FIE Rank 47) - A month before the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, Cannone was selected for the French Olympic Team as the substitute (which means he would not be entered into the Men's Epee Individual Event). However, his teammate Daniel JERENT was banned for testing positive to an illicit substance, so Cannone was sent to fence for the individual instead. Cannone, like all other semifinalists - Santarelli, Reizlin, and Siklosi - had never broke into the FIE Top 16 Ranking before the Tokyo Olympic Cycle, however, Cannone is the only one who had never broke into the Top 16 before the Tokyo Olympics itself.
On the Right - Igor REIZLIN of Ukraine (FIE Rank 1) - Reizlin, like Santarelli, is a reigning Bronze medalist from the 2019 World Championships, held in Budapest. Reizlin first broke into the FIE Top 16 Rank in the Season of 2019-2020, where he won a Bronze medal at the 2020 Budapest Grand Prix, and a Gold medal at the 2019 Berne World Cup.
Previous Match-ups - These have faced each other once in this Olympic Cycle. At the 2019 Berne World Cup, Reizlin beat Cannone 15-12 before winning the entire competition.

The last touch 😮‍💨

[@parenthesevide1105]

That 0:20 touch is a beauty. And God knows how much I hate épée as a sabre fencer

[@MorganLefeuvre]

Haha, honestly i prefer epee to foil (as a sabre fencer too)
To watch only, because I have never tried neither of these two weapons

[@Dancingtuna]
