| Fencing on Ice Skates?
Why not? Then we could be in the winter Olympics too!

| I would pay to watch that. I'd pay more to participate; it sounds like a blast.

| Would we have to wear cheesy sequined outfits, be awarded points based on purely subjective aesthetic judgments, and fence to over-the-top music?
Because if so, you can count me in!

| How about a new biathlon? Fencing on ice for 5 minutes and then shooting at other fencers.

| While we're at it, let's take out the corps-a-corps and jostling rules, and replace the Group IV "intentional brutality" penalty with a 2-minute minor for roughing. Then I'll take any of y'all on.  | |

| I can't remember his name, but there was a blonde skater who did a routine that included fencing moves. It's been a while, though. It was really entertaining to watch!
