kovalev's footwork looks nice

Это нужно показывать нынешнему поколению

I like how Kovalev parries even when he has already scored. I think it’s a good habit to improve reflexes and future parry-riposte actions.

It's not just about muscle memory. A lot of the time he counter-attacks while Gu has the priority. If it were a double light Gu would score, so he parries after the counter to make sure that doesn't happen.

Wow Kovalev is good but im surprised Gu lost this one still.

How clinical was Kovalev? That was superb.

sydneysabrecentre Damn, hopefully you'll be luckier next time. Gu is definitely the more exciting fencer to watch although fair play to Kovalev, the man's solid. The result doesn't surprise me although I'd be lying through my front teeth if I said I expected him to go 8-0 up during the first period.

Gethin ap Phylip Haha it wasn't very much. I love Kovalev's game, but he'd been off-form for a while and I assumed he'd be dead as soon as he came up against Kim (who was my real pick to win. Fail.) I don't think there's many out there who can honestly say they thought Kovalev would be world champion this year, but he sure earned it.

You're right he's been a bit hot and cold since last year's World Championships. Although I couldn't see him not going that final step at some point, class is permanent and all that.

He now owns the West Coast Sabre Academy (formerly Z Fencing) near Pasadena, California. I've seen him coaching at some local events I've worked as an armorer.

I wonder what happened to Gu? Like you don't beat Szilagyi, and then Yakimenko and lost this badly to Kovalev or anyone in a FINAL unless something is up.

Well arriving 10 minutes late to a final has got to play on the psyche. Especially after having a hard and long bout with Yakimenko.

The Koreans have a very annoying, chaotic "fencing style". Yet they are very hungry for success it's hard to fence against such individuals mentally. I guess Kovalev was very strong mentally on this occassion and that gave him an edge to others, not to mention his clear technique, speed and intelligence.

Interesting; this is not that common in sports fencing nowadays, but 3 of the first scores were followed with parries or guards, something you typically see in HEMA. It's logical too; prevents doubles which just annoy both fencers.

Parries and guards are extremely common in Epee and Foil (Less so in foil) Sabre is all about offence and their bouts never last long.

Actually, most of the time he did that, it was because Gu had priority. If he didn't parry after his attack, there would be a double light and Gu would score. It's still 100% sport thinking and not HEMA thinking.
