| Rogers wins 15-10!
What was the appeal at 10-9? |

| Jason starts the bout off strong, reeling off 4 straight touches to go up 4-0. The Senegalese fencer figures out the Jason is reacting to him and slows down a bit. "I was a bit nervous at first" said Jason of the opening period. "At the very beginning we were both really jumpy - he slowed down and I was still jumpy, but once I slowed down my tactical plan was better than his."
Jason turned around a 6-8 deficit at the break to win the bout running away at 15-10.
Jason faces Keeth Smart in the round of 32. | |

Anyone else see GE's sabre fencing/BBQ ad? | |

| Okawa-Keita (if I remember their names correctly) was a great bout.
NBC seems to be starting to put ads in the minute break, which is a good idea in terms of televising fencing, I think. It means revenue for them, and the more they profit the more likely they are to put it on television where we get to watch it. | |

| O'Connell of GBR vs Kovalev of RUS was a good bout too. Went to 14-14 before the Russian edged O'Connell out.

| Keeth is wearing blue Nikes, but Jason is wearing Assym's. He must have stockpiled a ton to have a pair still good, especially considering how much he fences...
