| Golubitsky
I´ve heard that Golubitsky was famous not only because he won many medals but also for his "dramatic fencing style".Can someone explain what this is or post a link to a video of him competing? |

Don't give up on me, sir. | |

| Golubitsky stopped fencing due to a variety of injuries, and he says in his book that he just was tired of competing. He had knee problems, ankle problems, and an elbow problem. He pretty much fell apart physically in the end. | |

| He lost the bout soundly after he switched, but he scored four touches. More importantly, he was a good showman while doing it. | |

| I also heard somewhere that Golubitsky smokes like a chimney. It's unfounded, but that's just what I heard.

| He does (did?) smoke. Not like a chimney, but frequently enough for a typical European.

He said Golubitsky was a coach/ref, and that every time he was to ref a bout, nobody could find him. He said that he was out smoking between every bout.
