First for freedom

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH edition

Any links for the pistes with people still fighting?

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
