Miscellaneous questions from MS

[Inquartata]

1) Ogawa of Japan wore a black glove. I thought that was a no-no?

2) Were there any challenges by Tim in the Morehouse-Sanson bout? I don't recall any, even though there were IMO a couple of very challenge-worthy calls...

3) Is it really necessary to hug the verge of the strip against a leftie? Tim got into trouble twice doing it against Sanson, and then Tarantino also did it. What is the utility that I'm not seeing?

4) Why did not Arthur Kramer rush out to tell the ref from Senegal that when an attack falls short and then the defender attacks, it is "attack no ( or non correct ), attack", not "attack no, counterattack"?

Even worse, I heard one ref call "attack no, riposte"!

I'm sure the thumbscrews are being prepared even as we speak...

Somebody on the British forum brought up "Attack, mal-parre, touche".

Not a daughter, I think. Wife or sister maybe.

He's pretty young.

As for the other questions, I abstain.

Rumor is that M. Roch is getting a training center established in Senegal. More largesse in return for support of his other initiatives, I suspect.
