Olympics
Hey everyone!
I was wondering if someone might record the fencing bouts during the Olympics for me, as I do not have TV. It can be quite vexing at time to not be able to see these important moments. You know?
Anyway, Thanks to whomever records it! I owe you one.

Re: Olympics
I have 3 of the women's saber DE's (1 semi-final, bronze medal bout, and gold metal bout) recorded on my DVR. The only problem is that I do not have a VCR to transfer the bout to.
Maybe someone else has the bouts on a portable format.
After seeing the saber matches, I have a better idea on how I could fence saber better. The footwork is what made things "click" for me. 
I previously had been having trouble with wrapping my head around the footwork.

Re: Olympics
Chris Sharma was also wondering if anyone was recording the fencing. You might be able to turn this into a cottage industry.
As far as sabre footwork, there were three Polish coaches who presented at the coaches conference in sabre. One is the current coach at Notre Dame and ex-Polish National Coach, the second was on Polish national teams and was a finalist at World Cups, the third was on the 2000 Polish Olympic team and a finalist at World Cups. They all did different things, saying this is modern sabre footwork. Welcome to fencing.

Re: Olympics
It's on the net at NBC sports. The quality is not that bad, I've been watching the men's team fencing and enjoying it, although some commentary would be nice.
Being intelligent is not a felony. But most societies evaluate it as at least a misdemeanor.
