Pentathlon Fencing Questions

Why were there two reels at the ends of the strips?
Didn't it seem like the woman referee for the men's fencing made some bad calls?
Did the referee give the Chinese fencer a yellow card for going off the side of the strip (in women's fencing at about 20:30)?

There is no reel-less Epee fencing yet. The reels were actually there during the Sabre and Foil events as well as the FIE Epee fencing. Can't help with the other questions.

I'm just watching the women's fencing, ...
it appears that the fencers on one side are both hooked up, I guess it might go faster this way to change, but at other times they just use one set of reels...

The Yellow was for going off the side to avoid a touch. It's a rare call, but it has happened to me too.
