huge scene at the JOs... did anyone else hear of this?

[O_O #2]

Im not gunna give any names, but here is one particularly funny account from the JOs i must share with you (in case you havnt heard).

2 fencers are fighting a DE epee bout. the score is pretty close, around 6-6ish i believe, when one fencer (we will call him #1) gets the upper hand. He makes a few nice hits, giving him a solid lead. the other fencer (#2) is obviously frustrated by this, and his form declines, allowing #1 to get an even MORE solid lead. #2 makes an attack, fails, and closes the distance. The director calls a halt and then, in a blatant act of unsportsmanship, #2 shoves #1 violently. Being a tough guy, #1 is unhurt, but the shove was obviously malicious. Without a word, the director then walks back, grabs something, and comes back. He shows fencer #2 a black card (yes, a black card... he automatically loses the bout, and is kicked out of tournament). As the director turns his back to put his card away, fencer #2 blatantly flips him off, much to the surprise of already-amazed spectators. The director was informed of this, and fencer #2 was taken to the bout committee, and was never seen again.

Fencer #1 won the bout something like 13-7, with no explanation on the score card about why the bout ended prematurely.
