Call me crazy but I have this sneaking suspicion that some of those other sports weren't done with the right equipment either...

There seems to be three fencers in that video. One foil, one epee and one saber.
But it's hard to tell.

It was all three

Here's the Rundown:

At :25 you can see the green shirt guy has a foil

At :26 you can see the black shirt guy has an epee

At around :56 you can see the green shirt guy has a saber, and the grey shirt guy has a foil
