In no particular order.
men foil The referees seem to be going back 30 years, I thought we had seen the end of the attack being accepted as the first movement forward with any part of the body. Lots of attacks starting with complete absence of blades being given by referees. Favoring the Italian's?
Women foil Much less off target more like traditional fencing.
Men Sabre Women sabre No idea what is happening and why hits are given either way. How about changing to epee rules either the only the first hit only scores or double timing like epee.
Epee Men won with some great foil against a traditional Scandinavian epee fencer.
Women Epee No thoughts.

refereeing even with video replay referees seem unable to apply the rules of fencing. some very good refereeing sabre ref from Somalia ? was excellent very rarely using the video.

D.T. When things go wrong the sign of a good D.T. is how the problem is dealt with. The head of D.T. should have absolute power to give any interference from individual with no regulatory position a new pink card (immediate removal from the fencing hall for one hour)
Discuss.
