Did you know what his fencing clun name???? , I want to go too.

@@oongoong7836 Choi's Fencing Club in Hannam-dong

I can attest that when they aren’t super tight when on the lane, they are some seriously comfortable shoes

he is quite sloppy though

Robin Hu lol nice when you can't read

Ben Carlick as a former foil and now sabre, I can tell you that whether or not footwork is pretty really doesn’t matter. As long as it’s effective and dominates, then it’s fair game.

@RandomThoughts choi took part in a south korean variety show called master in the house in 2020. He said he's on the smaller build for fencers so he had to compensate while following the rules. He did a demo against the number 2 (junior? as he seemed to be around 16yo-ish) national champ and it was amazing (he explained what he did and made fun of himself losing a point) even though he got winded pretty quick, lol. He kept pressing how you have to be agile, agile, agile.

+Mirjana Zadravec i agree, its a master class. i hated footwork sessions marching up and down the piste but its one of the strongest tools in the box.

+Mirjana Zadravec look at 30:55 he performs an almost perfect balestra. foot work wise anyway. it comes out of nowhere, pure fire.

+Mirjana Zadravec ikr the guy did an amazing balestra and his footwork is epic

신선영 I didn't see anything bad about his footwork either, he seem to always have them under him more than Baldini.

sakamuras s Hey, if you're upset about the Europeans thinking high of themselves you mightn't want to put in for Asian supremacy so quickly, or you'll look like a hypocrite.

@@kenichi407 when

from Japanese

바지찔렸어요 바지

Same question here. It might because Baldini made a small stop while he steped forward, and Choi catched a perfect timing while Baldini stoped. But I re-watched the video for a few times and felt Baldini's foot work is Okay.

朱睿 Finally I might find the reason why CHOI won the last point! After CHOI’s Attack, Bardini stepped forward and tried to catch CHOI’s blade but he couldn’t, and it was judged “Derobement” so CHOI got a priority!!

고맙다 Danke

hit on the "non target" area, in foil - not to the chest - arm, leg, head. If you had a right of way, even if your opponent hits you on target - no score and continuation from the place it happened.

dzfz2100 He didn't miss and I'm pretty sure Choi went for a beat too.

JessLe Berry Couldn't root for him after his whiny behaviour, making Choi undress and all. It did get tight at the end!

WantorNeed3942 it's not the person with the broken lamé's fault as the lamé should have been tested by the support team so he wouldn't get a card and nothing happens to the opponent.

It's your friend, not you. Let him/her do the bragging.

Did I ask lol and I'm not bragging never said I was

It was essentially his fault if Choi catched him off-guard with unpredictable moves

You must not go to a lot of fencing tournaments if that is the most disrespectful thing you have seen...

@@leaf361 i do. And yes thats the most disrespect ive ever seen.

My apologies if I was unclear...I was in a bit of a rage. I get quite passionate over this type of stuff. By dominating, I don't mean the score. I mean that he is controlling the bout. He is controlling the footwork and the handwork, and you can tell because his opponent is reacting to him 90% of the time. He is the actor, his opponent is the reactor. And exactly, it doesn't matter if it's pretty, what matters is that it achieves the goal: he's able to move in any direction at any given time from his guard, and the fact that he's "all over the place," as some people are saying, is a reflection of that. As for who the many are...well, for starters, the coaches at my club (experienced coaches who not only have very good national results, but have trained national champions and are very well-informed on the international scale), many fencers that I know (I myself am an active fencer), and many people (fencers, referees and coaches alike) that I've met at tournaments and national events as well. I'm not international quite yet, but I'll see what the international opinion is then, perhaps :D

I do.

그게 다 작전이에욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 저 때 최병철 선수가 준결승 뛴 지 얼마 안 됐는데 바로 3.4위전 뛰어서 많이 힘들어서 일부러 액션 크게 하고 조금 휴식하려고 했던 작전이에요 실제로 옷 갈아입었을 때 체력이 많이 돌아왔대요 그리고 마지막 포인트를 기가 막히게 따 낸 거죠

기계가 병신인게 아니고, 최병철 선수가 입고있는 메탈자켓이 문제인거에요. 메탈자켓이 금속 소재로 되어있어서 칼이 닿으면 전기가 통해서 불이 들어오는데, 녹이 슬거나 미세한 찢어짐으로 데드스팟이라고 칼 닿아도 전기가 안통해서 득점 성공 불이 안들어오는 부분이 생겨요. 사전에 테스트를 통해서 당연히 데드스팟 확인하게 되어있지만 테스트 뒤에 문제가 생긴건지 아무튼 최병철 선수가 입고나온 메탈자켓이 문제였네요.

sakamuras s Baldini really jerked around with the rules the whole match, Choi was respectful and didn't kick up a fuss, even when they made him undress.

Because his (legit) shots weren't being counted.

Well, they get a pat on the back if it makes them feel any better

3rd *bronze*

Baldini is a talented fencer in a country that reveres the sport... even after losing this match, he continues to live the good life

At least he got world champion

thenewwoodsman Yeah, not winning an individual medal shouldn't stop him from enjoying the sport.
