[peircer]

Did Gruchala just try to cover target area with her leg? I've never seen that before...

[onesandzeros]

What was the first yellow card for?

[JEC]

She took her mask off and was fixing her weapon without asking permission. THe second yellow card was during an action that Vezzali scored a valid point in the continuation not parried by the leg. She also lowered her left shoulder to cover the area.

I wasn't talking about the yellow card. I saw a replay in slow motion where she kind of hunched over, and brought her back leg up to cover her chest. I don't know if it was the same time as the yellow, or a different phrase completely.
