For me, it was Abouelkassem's QF victory over Cassara, even though his SF victory over Choi was more historic (first African fencing medallist and all that). Having watched him defeat Chamley-Watson, and then Joppich, I will always remember the general dawning realisation along the lines of "By George, this fellow may well upset the applecart in a most surprising and unorthodox fashion!". I think that may well have been the first time in a while that Cassara has come up against a crowd cheering his opponent more than him!
