Piasecki (NOR) v Jung (KOR) Olympics 2012 Mens Epee semis (1080p 25fps)

A close match, with nerves telling as both hope for a place in Olympic final. A few missed opportunities on both sides, and Jung makes a late comeback as he works out how to defeat Piasecki's feint-high-low lunge. Piasecki ploughs on with it, hoping for doubles, and wins with his AoE hit as Jung leaps back into a half-pike rassemblement stop-hit, hoping to avoid a double, but finds Piasecki's lunge is just too deep.

One of the biggest surprises in the history of fencing!

Nitpick: some actions you describe as "stop-hits" would be more accurately described as "counter-attacks." A stop-hit is executed against a preparatory action; counter-attacks against single-intention thrusts (including beat-attacks or feint-deceives).

ahhh... maybe. A compound is sometimes defined as an attack with 'more than one' feint, but more usually as with 'one or more' feints. (search on 'FIE Fencing Glossary of terms'). I go for the latter, and many of the stops were simple hits into the feint. According to the FIE glossary, a stop hit should also fall within the meaning of counter-attack - so terminology is sometimes 'grey' ;-)
