Must Watch Video on Olympic Fencing

http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/fencing/

This is the video CBC has on their website explaining fencing

ps CBC will not allow me to watch their live broadcast on the internet - is there a solution of which I am not aware?

Well, I wouldn't call it "must see TV." While the information generally seems accurate (I didn't watch the whole thing), the animations are not very good and as far as I can tell, there is no audio. Don't lose any sleep over missing it.

I am sorry. I should have said "not must see".
I did think that their attempt to explain the sport was admirable but as far as the graphics obviously not impressive.

I agree. I thought it was a good basic explanation of the sport.
