First for freedom

How would these guys do against swordsmen from back in the day?
What time are the quarters in bong time?
BASED MASSIALAS CAUSES ANOTHER INJURY
Russian ded
>it's a fall down and use the medical timeout to stall episode
wew
fuck this rigged "sport"
saged
What's the score on yellow? Can't find a stream and can't use NBC.
Massialas out there str8 killin' niggas
the Garozzo-Abdul match had more shouting than a female tennis match
12-7 to USA
It's not really the same at all. But we would still win since people are bigger and stronger now
12-8
Define "The day".
Epee is the weapon that is like old skool fencing. But this sport is based around these rules and these weapons, obviously when you change those two things are different.
Just give Alex a bat.
It'll be faster that way.
This guy walks into the club and slaps your girlfriend's ass. Wut do?
Check em, lads.
What day does the jousting start?
First for This Russian guy needs to stop being gay
How long til next round.
I lost count of what round we are on.
Any period when swords were still used in combat I suppose. And if they had comparable weapons like rapiers instead of huge broadswords
...
I thought that americans loves gays, but you right, fuck him
The Saudi women's fencing team:
Lubna al-Amair
They're waiting for the yellow strip to finish fencing, then they'll start up again.
Blame the russian for taking a 10min medical timeout
3:00 eastern US so 8:00 bongoland?
ready for some ebin gets?
What's the point of rapiers flexing this much? They seem uncontrollable
Well obviously there are loads of transferrable skills and epee in particular is very close to "classical" dueling, but they'd have plenty to relearn, and obviously you are less concerned for your own safety in this sport than real duelists are, so there are some attacks you would just never do.
I think a world class epeeist would wreck any classical rapier fencer though, just cut their wrist to pieces til they literally can't hold a blade.

>10min medical timeout
What was wrong with him?
So you don't die when somebody fucks up.
Sorry that's the semifinals and finals
He fell down, need to kiss those boo boos
>two and a half hours from now
That seems quite unlikely.
Such pussies
Not everyone can be as hardcore as you, vodka-san
It's a foil not a rapier.
Epees are less bendy.
Next bouts in 10 minutes:
Blue: Angry Italian vs Hue
Red: Bolshevik vs. Maoist
Green: Colonists vs. Redcoats
Yellow: Freedom vs. The other Italian
The USA have no hope of stopping the Kruse missile
does anybody have a stream link?
>Green: Colonists vs. Redcoats
Wait, it's USA vs GB?
Is there a place that shows updated brackets?
Yup.
Yeah m8. Prepare to get revolutioned.
I have one for red
You traitorous fuckers are going to regret everything you did to that precious tea in 10 minutes time.
Keep telling yourself that.
phishing alert
Can't wait for the chanting.
Why not do the quarters one match at a time?
i guess it works anyway. thank you
Takes too much time. They want to give the athletes a meal break between the quarters and semis.
This way is better desu senpai, good to get all the fencing out quickly so I can watch something else, I'm not going to miss a second of this most patrician sport.
BBC showing Kruse's last match
Why not show the live one tards
Need to get started. Girls Archery starts in a few.
It hasnt started yet
>Washington driving automatic
Way to portray your national hero as faggot.
It hasn't started yet, they are giving context for plebs who haven't followed it.
when does it start?
It hasn't started because of the delay of the last yellow match
Their introducing the fencers now, so itll just be a minute
So the semis are basically a guaranteed a medal match
Nice
>TRYING TO BRUISE THE KRUSE
Colonials knowing their place.
>still no medals
bonglanders fuck off
>damage control
cmon massialas beat this fucking wop
safin is getting a lot of love from the crowd
How the fuck was this ever scored without technology and replay?
very good eyesight and human error
Timing doesn't matter at all.
They wear white because they used to be marked black by the weapons.
With lots of swearing and very patient refs
Paint. Style, and five more referees
chink having meltdown
So they get blacked
They sharpened the pointy end.
Originally they fenced shirtless and had tacks on the end of their swords.
Then they switched to chalk on the tips. During this they had three refs, a head ref and a ref for each player that would watch blades and help the head ref determine right of way.
fucking hell this is tense
Blood.
Its where the term "First Blood" comes from
Kruse with the repeat failed back flicks
Kruse really is looking good today
