| I'm not sure what your criticism is.
Are you being sarcastic?
The way you phrase it it seems as if you think the fact that his opponent was a world class athlete should make the outcome less likely.
In general not a very intelligent or constructive post.

| being optimistic here
i think cleveland is being sarcastic and replying to criticisms made on kelsey's athletic shape in the epee thread.
or maybe i'm just putting my own meaning into there | |

You do realise that HALF of the athletes that go to Beijing to fence go out in their first fight don't you? | |

It appears in Kelsey's event 24 athletes survived the first DE in which they fenced while 17 went out in their "first fight".

| The Heidenheim is generally considered the toughest epee comp in the world, and the most physically demanding. If you medal in that, you are a world-class athlete.
I'm curious to those that don't think Seth is a good athlete how many have actually fenced him? I am even more interested in seeing them say that to his face and be surprised what “fat” can do.
My question is why are no other world-class epee fencers committed enough to do the amount of high-altitude training that Seth does? Don’t they even care?

The only way that it can be other than a 50% drop out is if there is an incomplete 64 and someone who earned a bye gets beaten by someone who didn't.
If you look at it less literally Seth effectively won his first fight 15 - 0 by being highly ranked and earning a bye.  | |

| This is Janet. I fenced Seth in the Military Championships a few years ago while he was at the Academy. Seeing his picture recently, his face appears much rounder, more filled out than it was at that time. I did get two touches on him.
