FIE bout videos on youtube

[NGV]

For anyone who might be interested - I've noticed that there are a large number of videos from recent World Cups, in all six weapons, available at www.youtube.com/FIEvideo.

Unfortunately (from an entertainment perspective) the scores of the bouts are given away in the video titles, but the videos themselves are pretty high quality and could be a nice resource for coaches and fencers.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up. It's always hard to find quality fencing videos.

Holy sh!t! That's amazing! Anybody know where it comes from?

It's the Tissot feeds from GP/ChM.

It's what we see on the video refereeing. I'd heard this was getting released, but not on this scale.

Whats with the skimping on the womens saber bouts???

[K O'N]

Well, there goes my morning. Very nice pointer, thank you.

There goes any hope I had of getting anything useful done today... Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Rather spooky to click on the link and see your husband refereeing.

That would truly spook me. Probably even more than it would spook my wife.

Is that the British version of spooky, apparently meaning "no definition I've ever heard of for the word" ?

Thank you, a lot of bouts I only heard of recently.

These are amazing. Can anyone tell me what is going on with Kruse's circle 6 riposte in this video: http://www.youtube.com/FIEvideo#play...71/f4JCHmvdp3s Specifically, what he's trying to hit?

Examples at 1:27, 5:03, 5:46

Props to the FIE. This is good.

It almost looks like he's aiming for the bib, doesn't it?

[erooMynohtnA]

I guess it does in the first one, but in the other two he just smacks him on top of the mask, which puzzled me.

Those videos made me so happy.

Especially when he claimed he was just going down to the local pub for a pint.

Fantastic resource. I immediately noticed that when I downloaded the videos, I did not get near the resolution as the online versions. Did a little research and found out how to download a higher resolution version from youtube. When you copy the url, add (not the quotation marks) "&fmt=18" to the end. The download will be about twice the size, but the quality will be indistinguisable from from the online version. Now it's quite watchable on a larger screen with much less pixelization.
