Sergei Golubitsky Golden Bouts Video
There is a great review available at the Fencing Footage web site, and it fairly well sums up the fencing on this tape.
The fencing is supurb and the Eurosport footage is what fencing should look like. Nice slow-mo replays and a good view of the action.
The only thing that disappointed me about this tape was that Golubitsky's comments were too few and didn't give a great glimpse into his strategies of the time. I've seen all of these bouts as I own tapes of each of the world championships, so I was looking for something more. Because the fencing is so good, the video gets rated high. It loses a point because it didn't live up to my expectations. I expected more cuts back to points where the touch was explained, instead I got occasional voice-overs from Golubitsky on top of the footage.
If you don't already have the world champs from these years on tape, then this is the foil tape to buy. If you already have those bouts, then you've got 90% of what this tape is.
