    Video clip: Cody Mattern, Epee

    Cody Mattern is going to the Olympics. Here are the final touches from the Gold Medal match at the 2004 Nationals, where Mattern (right) meets Rosenberg (left, in the awesome shoes). The CSTV production showed an abbreviated version of the bout... these are some of the last few touches, where Mattern widens his lead and wins.

    David was one of my teammates at UNC. He had a great day - I was hoping he would beat Mattern, but it wasn't to be...

    I was going to capture more epee stuff, but (1) CSVT was light on epee, and (2) with the Olympics coming up it seemed smart to do Olympic contenders. For women's epee, I couldn't find any vid on Kamara James.

    There was some discussion between the announcers about how epee is slowed-down and more relaxed than other weapons. I think it's funny when the announcer (Nabors), says, "There's that tentativeness." Though popular wisdom says that epee is the most audience-accessible weapon, in the CSTV treatment it was the opposite. Foil & Sabre felt "action packed," though CSTV did a great job with all weapons.

    Are we talking about the CSTV footage of nationals? It's funny, the showed so little epee, I couldn't even make a judgement on how it showed up. The women's foil looked great, even though they showed like 5 touches. The saber wasn't that exciting.

    Maybe it's just me...
    We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean
    We love everybody but we do as we please
    When the weather's fine,
    We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
    We're always happy
    Life's for livin', yeah, that's our philosophy
