And zach taking the roasts like a boss 🤣

as is tradition

If Thibault's manuals, the opponent who loses is actually always called Zachery.

Who's Zach?

Agreed!

Hey fencers are pretty chill

Q11

i agree i love with the experts have her kind of attitude. i'm sure being a soon-to-be three time olympian and being one of the top three athletes in the entire world for her discipline helps when it comes to having security in her ability and confidence as an instructor though

What a great person!

Wel put

Especially attempting to explain in likely her second language! She was amazing!

I loved that he pointed that out too! They’re athletes, I don’t need them to give me a whole dissertation on their sport, that’s what the internet and these videos are for! 💁🏻‍♀️👏🏼

@@S0otitan13 What about 'on guard'?

@@S0otitan13 Becuase we just say en garde lol

@@cmur078 It's similar but not exactly the same meaning. Latin languages have this "specificity" with some words and expressions.

I think the gymnasts where Russian but I’m not sure

i can hear it in my head 😭

Yesss

I do another kind of fencing sport, its a huge difference facing an overall untrained person compared to someone who already is a sports fanatic, especially combat sports. They know how to move and how to adapt the moves you teach them. Also there is an innate understanding of distance as well as trying to hit someone while nit beeing hit yourself. While someone who is just trying to find his legs normally is just a predictable dummy to move around and outmaneuver those people always have an aura of threat and danger the moment you enter their reach.

Heck yeah. His footwork at the beginning was beautiful for someone who had just started it, and she and her coach both recognized it. She clearly loves the sport, and loves to bring people into it.

@@SoulSpectar He's a dancer and has done some martial arts. So makes sense that he had an easier time picking up some footwork.

what weapon do you fence

@@jade_idontkare7481 I fence saber but my coach is a master of blades

@@mylittleponyfanboy3632 I fence epée, and have a coach for that and another that teaches both saber and foil

She let him score on purpose.

😂 Surprised Pikachu face

Yah. That’s delightful.

@@OlympicFoil I completely forgot that his mom lives in France until that part

@@Good2GrowYT Wish I could speak french! that would be hella cool

@@OlympicFoil its honestly the best party trick when i visit my friends in Boston 😂 I'm from Canada so here its not that big of deal but Americans look at me with such wonder

😂😂same

I'm sure they probably just used some footage they had of him with his resting face and cut it in conveniently

Same😂😭

Greatest character development! 💜

Yes please!!!

Agree!!! ❣️❤️❣️❤️❣️

While I did fencing we sometimes trained together with the parafencers. It is really different and helps a lot reading the enemies.

ngl I feel like if there is a sudden death for fencing it should be that, the athletes sit down in a chair and just poke each other for one round to break the tie

Apparently it's incredibly vicious as well

that sounds AWESOME

I just watched a video... both guys could actually walk. Why are they in wheelchairs?

Wahoo!

Do they do epee and sabre events in the Olympics too or only foil?

@@SassyWinterFox They do all 3 weapons at the Olympics, but she only does foil

How'd it go?

@@sarahw9385 Silver, ROC won the match

she actually has a pretty normal french accent when speaking in english, the typical parisian accent you're refering to is probably the french people that don't even try to change their pronounciation x)

Honestly, it isn't too scary considering how passive of a weapon foil is. I fence sabre and the one time I 1v1'ed my coach was absolutely terrifying due to the sheer speed he moves with. That, and the fact he stands a solid 5 inches taller than myself, but mostly the speed.

eyo your beethoven pfp is so cool!! 😲

@@ysabelledelacuesta7533 thanks lol it's drawn by Mason Yin, from his Beethoven illustration series 😆

wow, (belated)congratulations on that! :D

After a five year hiatus I restarted. Do it!!!!

I’ve been on and off for years but I always go back to the sport. Do it! Allez!

Same here! 😭 I need to find a new club to join to start fencing again

@@sergeigontcharenko3476 Is it a hard sport to start? I'm 25, fairly athletic. But I've never done fencing but I've always been interested in it. I've been wanting to try new sports and see what sticks. I need new hobbies.

@@Sunny-ot1vo i’m an assistant coach for my club and i’ve coached people of all ages. given your description, id say you’d probably find it relatively easy, at least starting out.

and I loved it lol

Haha

En garde, prêt ? Allez !

True this is. Guys can have all the extra speed and strength they want but in the end it's all about who is a smarter fencer.

If that's the case, why don't the women compete against the men?

@@UKpostsCommenter1 Mainly to keep continuity with other Olympic sports. In terms of open fencing tournaments, most tend to be mixed until you get to the college level in which the same logic as why Olympics are segregated applies.

It hasn’t always been this way.

And such a beautiful name!!

Her name is absolutely gorgeous and it turns out that I could listen to Eugene speak French all day 😍

I think they don't want kendo ended up like taekwondo which has lost its beauty of fighting due to olympics PSS system that is so point "centered"

@@raphaelraymond_n wasn't there a fiasco where they just threw in a non-TKD athlete in because she had long legs and she won a medal?

The first rounds at this Olympics are going to be on the 24th, so you still have some time to catch them live this Olympics!

@@robot3759 Oh I didn't know that! Thanks!!

That’s super cool:)

Absolute I think offers STM blades in all three weapon in rainbow colors. One of my epees is rainbow and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen foils before too And sabre is definitely an awesome weapon (I compete in both it and epee now)

The rainbow coloring is meant to prevent oxidation! I’ve got a gold and a blue Epee
