I mean... They're really just playing tag with an antennae
Yep
which if sharp would hurt quite bad.
@@Monscent nope
That's basically what fencing is
and football is just kicking around a ball
It doesn’t seem like sword fighting, but rather evolved in to a meta of scoring points…
Same as taekwando. Less kick. More punches. Whatever it takes. Just to score points ☹️
@@zaifonnn5893 things need to go back to being about contact & risking real (non-lethal) injuries.
you change the rules then
Thats why its called Fencing not swordfighting.
Its the most stupidest game i have ever watched.... No offence but still... Its like 2 kids fighting with sticks but with high budget🙄🙄
Now, Ana Maria Popescu has won the silver in the women's epee at Tokyo 2020
She LOST gold! She was better every way but she had the strange crampy moments in the finals. And finally the failed to notice the ultimate attack.
@@marguskiis7711 well boohoo she won silver. no need to be such a negative nancy
@@marguskiis7711 omg so sad :( If she was better she would have won :)
They need to make this a fight to the death. It would become the most popular sport on the planet.
😂😂
Lmao
That's called HEMA
Yeah but instead of stupid, mini metal sticks they use every weapon they want ( exept guns )
Defintly!
So why not just throw the sword at them while you at it.
There's an electrode in the glove that touches the sword, when it completes a connection between the sensor on your suit to the opponent's suit it registers a touch.
@@kevinvermeer9011 because u will lose your weapon Einstein and the second reason îs the electric circuit
I feel like anyone with a long reach would do amazing in this.
They do...
Surely you joust
Muhammad enters the chat😂
I don't know what I'm watching but this is amazing
Same
What you are watching is fencing.
Me too bruv.
No one knows
Fantastica!bravo!!m a simt mândrã de toti romanii nostrii sportivi!
Golden moment!!!
Popescu is a brilliant fencer. So sad she failed to notice Chinese's attack at the Tokyo crucial final.
That was sad. I hate those Chinese cheats as well.
@@NatureBoyWooo how did chinese cheat
@@MikeKing-ci5me he thinks they cheating bc he can't cope
Why is it sad? Someone must win, someone come second. Both have acheived something extraordinary :))
@@neilshen759 oh look, found the Chinese, ding ding ding
This is the best touch that I've ever seen🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’d say Max Heinzer’s flicks are better but this point was genius
What about Yahweh and Adam's?
No.
Quelle équipe roumaine bravo
That was genius!!
I want to watch the full bouts :( Can't find any of them on YT
I heard that in ancient Greece they fought with real swords
U mean in Ancient Olympics?? It's possible... Sounds cool 😁
@@nitishsharma7545 In that scenario she would win by points but would be stabbed in the heart when landing.
@@janvalis727 my god....u mean they stabbed in the heart of the one who lost the match, in ancient Olympics ????
@@nitishsharma7545 I can't, I hope you're trolling but people are so dumb on the internet these days that I don't know anymore
@@dazeen9591 You're one of them.
Both touches were impressive actually
Would've actually been more impressive if the other fencer touched first
Can you explain why
To all those that think it’s just a game of tag: I ve seen the the sharp historical weapons, a mere touch with light pressure would make the tip go inches into a human body.
Perfect anticipation of opponent's move. Amazing.
And I can't help but to say I like the ending of the video.
When you anticipate your opponent's next move! Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Idk what is happening and why it is so impressive. Can someone explain?
KZhead said that so it must be...
Well in fencing it is quite unusual to jump and hit from above...
Yeah even i think the same... Its just an overrated sport.... Its literally like two kids fighting with sticks...
@@trinuuu lol
@@trinuuu who hurt you dude
I don't know what happened but 👏👌
i don't know what is this but yt recommended this so i am watching 😂
This how the mosquitos acct after I 🖐🖐
It’s unbelievable Jeff
amaizing
Fencing is weird because even though it looked like it was a nothing touch with no power, the mere fact that she got the tap just before the opponent (even though the opponents touch was far better) means that she won the point. I wish fencing would be more like actual sword fighting. Or bring HEMA to the Olympics or something, it would be much more entertaining.
That would be arnis
@@753238 What's arnis? never heard of it being in Olympic.
@@evelynfarfellwooosh1219 Arnis a form of Filipino Martial Arts that is in the Southeast Asian Games.
thats a different sport so stop complaining
@@robinschulz9961 But a different sport that isn't in the Olympics, whereas this somehow is.
Brilian....
Also known as the Miyagi maneuver
But even more impressive is how she almost pullet the Ronaldo style “I got fouled” acting in the start. She even limped. Nice!
i thought neymar does that

What ended the armored knight wasn't gunpowder, it was skill.
Imagine its year 1600 and youre trying to fight for your dignity, and this guy jumps and touch you in the head with real swords. Hard.
Queen
Amazing.... romania romania ole ole ole 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Impressive!!!!
When fight is over they go home and attach that sword on to a radio. Wow, so much likes and this is not funny at all.
😂😂
lol funniest
😱😂😂
Yes it is😂😂
Less waste is really popular nowadays.
Hello Olympics and will be done ✅
Even in slow motion, didnt even understand how she won and why the other playrr lost.
Wow!
Where is she from?
She s the best
What kind of game is this??
Imagine this being a Olympic sport
wow
They not even blocking incomming atacks
Hahaha. Legendary Abra cadabra que aparezca una medalla de oro despues de meses de practica
Special MOVE🎵
nice final!
What is this game?
Can anyone explain what is it ..?
Is the shove like after the first touch normal? Looks kinda intentional ngl
it probably was
Its over Xu I have the high ground
I dont understand doing this in epee. Foil sure. Epee??
This is to sword fighting as gluing popsicle sticks together into an x is woodworking.
Add some lasers, it would more fun.
They should have a castle back drop with a stair case and tables. A real sword fight.
What is this game
The crash in the beginning is just so impolite.. At least an apologies?
A chinese apologizing for invading your personal space??? seeing a unicorn is more feasable
When you unlock the ultra instinct
Brazilians rooting is next level! 😂
It’s ROMANIA , NOT RUMANIA!!!! Correct the description!
In realitate corect este Geția sau Tracia romalaii îs la roma.
Name of this game
That there is what you call pog
what is this game
Combat evolved
En Garde!
That is not sword play, it is bending the rules beyond the scope of this game.
We had a move for this on my team we called it the flying Zender after the kid who came up with it
the title made me think this would look cooler than it actually was lol
I have the high ground
0:14 At this exact moment you can see the Chinese player's foot was a millimeter over the line, this is what caused the loss of the round!
*GAME* !!!!
I bet that she learned that jumping technique from a fighting game
Slip this into any teletubbies episode and I bet you no toddler would ever notice. Most parents won't either.
Im confused, can someone explain what happened?
She jumped.
@@unnamedindividual5157 but how does that affect the game?
How does this work in actual life and death combat though?
It doesn’t
That’s why it’s a sport m8
R o m a n i a
Epee be like
I have no idea what's going on here. Can someone pease explain?

You can hear the "omae wa mou shindeiru" in the slowmo.
She hath runneth you through! She hath tappeth you on thou head!
I had a dream. I was flying fighting other witches. Termine en convertirlas en metales preciosos. JAJAJA
It would be more entertaining to watch if they had plate armour, broadswords, and could just let rip at each other with real clubbing swings
It would be more bloody, you mean
@@abhinavsk8292 blood = entertainement
@@patmaxable1 bring back the gladiators
Yeah, these gane is useless, couldve just use VR.

Wow? 🤔 antenna fighting?
