'nother medal

, 02-27-2009 at 01:24 PM (79 Views)

Sciatica. Unmotivated. Pool of seven, 13 fencers in the event. Lost to Deb Stopak and Becky Douville by pretty wide scores (1-5). Defeated Sharol Pestotnik, Heidi Runyan, Jeanne Slain, and Anne Estrada (first timer).

Seeded 5th. Fenced Linda Dunn. Down at the 5 break, brought it back. Then Sharol again, then Becky Douville again. Justin Meehan refereeing, Arkady didn't agree but I won. Gold medal bout I was lackluster, lost to Jane Eyre again, maybe a couple nice touches, got April to work on me.

I watched some of that bout with Arkady? What wasn't he happy with?

Honestly, I have no idea what Arkady was unhappy about. Justin is perfectly consistent and I know what to do with him. Maybe Arkady was unhappy because Becky was supposed to beat me again. Darned if I know.

Justin said later that Arkady is unhappy about him in general, but Arkady's also working his way through the entire referee corps in terms of referees he is unhappy about.

Yes. I understand that some referees are refusing to accept bouts with his fencers. Eventually, between he, Ed, and Yuri, no one will want to referee their fencers in domestic events.

I've refereed Arkady's fencers, and once did a cadet gold medal bout with him on one end and Ted Smith on the other. Neither of them gave me a hard time, oddly enough.

The trio you named -- Ed, Arkady, and Yuri -- are a heck of a gruesome threesome of prima donnas. And each of them is QUITE sure they know how sabre should be called.
