To make this achievement even more amazing, look at the world rankings of the people he beat: he beat 9th ranked Limardo, 7th ranked Verwijlen, 2nd ranked Bida, 3rd ranked Reizlin, and finally 1st ranked Siklosi. He could not have had a more difficult route, and yet he pulled it off. He beat the entire World Top 3 in a row.
He went to my club. he wasn’t supposed to go, the guy who was third on list didn’t pass the drug test so cannone went instead. Also he never got any international medals, so winning the Olympics was a pretty big step
I don’t know much about fencing but Cannone seems very feisty. He’s quick, jumpy, nimble, cat-like, maybe a little more unpredictable? Fascinating to watch
yep, Cannone’s style is very soft, elegant and fast, there are fencer like him, Minobe or Mohamed Elsayed and other fencer that have a different style like Pizzo. Firstly it depends by the grip that they use, Cannone use french grip
i love that little move Cannone does where he tucks himself into a little ball and goes for the legs, makes him a much smaller target and takes advantage of his opponent's sturdier build and height.
Ducking makes your hand closer to their feet as well, it’s much easier to go for leg touch whilst ducking. The down side is that you’re very committed then.
Amazing come-from-nothing story aside, Cannone's style was so exciting to watch. Quick movement and outside-the-box tactics. Even just watching his footwork alone and comparing it to his opponent's -- it's as if he's a rabbit or something.
Everytime I watch fencing I'm surprised how short the match is, 3 bouts of 3min and 15 points happens so fast, 16min total with time-offs. I wish there was more
it's the meanest timed counterattack I've ever seen is what it is balling up and going for the chest is pretty common fare in foil where it's a counterattacking strategy and it's more effective because target's only the chest... pulling it off here was ballsy
22:29 Coach over here sounding like the Werehog losing a life. Anyway, while I was rooting for Siklosi (due to the green color of his helmet), Cannone did an impressive job, here. His style can best be described as aggressive and lightning-fast, and the fact that he won a Gold Medal at his *first* Olympic Games is an incredible feat!
I believe that is called The Imperial March. While lightsaber duels may be the most iconic fencing exhibition of our age, I consider this to be beneath the dignity of the Olympics.
Seems like Siklosi kind of lost his touch near the end. Rushing his touches, lunging from too far away or without proper preparation. Obviously, incredible performances from both of them though. Certainly two of the best in the world.
@@thecheekychinaman6713 Oh, fatigue is definitely a possibility. The days leading up to the finals is incredibly stressful. Not just physically, but mentally too. Nerves, weariness from continuous concentration, and of course muscle exhaustion all play huge parts, especially towards the end of a competition.
Funny thing was that Cannone was a replacement opponent for Daniel Jenent who failed a drug test (Cannone had also never won a medal in international tournaments before this too)
@Micah Eiber Things aren't always that simple, conditioning is a thing. There are guys way bigger than you who are faster, can run longer periods of time than you.
@@labibhasan3239 But could you beat them, if it was life and death. I would say no. I spent 2 or 3 hours at the dojo 6 days a week for a decade and they are so much faster than me. The rapier is probably the ultimate melee weapon, and these men are masters of their craft.
Matt Easton of Scholagladatoria needs to watch this. He keeps going on about how epee's short timeout duration means that epee fencers will somehow charge towards each other recklessly and end up doing double hits, were it not for the short timeouts. Yet most of the hits here were not reckless, and clean, unlike other fencing weapons...
I think this year's Olympics has been an eye opener for us Indians as we Indians always used to focus on studies first and ignore sports....now sports culture is developing 🎂
This is my first time watching fencing,. though I don't know much about it, I think I really enjoy this game,🥰🥰 Who else here watching fencing for the first like me 🤔🤔
Just watching them duel opened a window to the past, for me. I imagined the Renaissance, seeing 2 men having a dispute in a tavern, possibly over a girl. A challenge to duel is made and of course it's accepted. The 2 battle in out in the streets, only for 1 to draw blood and the other to shout "Alright, enough, enough, I yield. The winner offers a hand to the loser, they go back to the bar, but the loser leaves, disgraced. However, they're soon to be back together, drinking in the bar or fighting side by side when their king calls. Also, 15:35, can someone explain how this was counted as a point?
@Pablo= You cannot throw your sword, it’s against the rules (and besides it would make you helpless if your throw were parried). However there are two sorts of handles for épée ; the first is “poignée droite” (straight handle) in which you can change the position of your hand on the handle ; the second is “poignée crosse” (contoured handle) in which your fingers are in a grip over the contours of the handle. With a “poignée crosse” you have more strength when you beat your opponent’s blade or oppose his beat, but the “allonge” of your épée (i.e. elongation from your chest to the point of the sword) can’t be modified. With a “poignée droite”, you can shift you hand on the handle so that the “allonge” can be increased or decreased by a few centimeters (but obviously there are no contours, so your grip of the handle has less strength). It is a matter if choice for fencers to use what handle suits them best. The more ‘physical-minded’ prefer the “poignée crosse” and the more ‘tactical minded’ prefer the “poignée droite” which can give a few critical centimeters of “allonge”. But anyway, a “poignée droite” fencer will only change the position of his hand on the handle during a preparation phase, or during a lull in the assault. Within an action, the hand will keep a firm grip on the handle! -- •

You should watch foil and sabre, they’re often done in the first 3 minutes

What a wonderful match. Romain is a beast. The footwork and leaping dagger is a gift from his ancestors. Enjoyed.

Do you know why there was such a long delay?
That first flick hand hit was crazy
Had to slow down the vid to half speed to spot some of the hits. Very nice.
Judges really testing the contestants patience lol
Amazing match. I hope I get see Cannone compete again in his homeland.
now cannone is a world champion and world rank number 1

the reason is that Japan is strange

A fencer's eye view camera would be amazing if they could implement a camera light enough it wouldn't have much of an impact on the match
Why is the cameraman so focused on that watch ._.
Stay for the imperial march then jump through equipment issues to 7:30
How much has the equipment gear have been upgraded. Had watched 25 21 and was amazed by the upgrade over the time
it was about time they went wireless
Idk fencing, but it looks like Canonne was struggling because of reach? So then he used evasive footwork and split second timing to get points?
just here after watching Twenty-Five Twenty-One
Sameee na hee dooo
Cannone working those ankles and toes
Oh… I miss épée fencing so much! :(
Then? Whats stopping you from redoing it
Would you recommend starting with foil or épée fencing? Beginner who has to decide, thank you!!!
@bellahu5331 i'd say foil. It really helps for precision and movement. Epee is more fun on my opinion though
Great sport.🛡️🤖💯

Are we just going to ignore the imperial march playing in the break?
Tellement vif, impressionnant à 10:38

What do you call the upbeat that Cannone hit at ~9:00

I have a question, can u throw ur sword on fencing? I dont know so much about this sport but every time i watch a combat I always wonder it
No. The fencing blade is connected by wire to the end cord, you would probably break it and plus I’m pretty sure it’s against the rules
@Pablo= You cannot throw your sword, it’s against the rules (and besides it would make you helpless if your throw were parried).
However there are two sorts of handles for épée ; the first is “poignée droite” (straight handle) in which you can change the position of your hand on the handle ; the second is “poignée crosse” (contoured handle) in which your fingers are in a grip over the contours of the handle.
With a “poignée crosse” you have more strength when you beat your opponent’s blade or oppose his beat, but the “allonge” of your épée (i.e. elongation from your chest to the point of the sword) can’t be modified.
With a “poignée droite”, you can shift you hand on the handle so that the “allonge” can be increased or decreased by a few centimeters (but obviously there are no contours, so your grip of the handle has less strength).
It is a matter if choice for fencers to use what handle suits them best. The more ‘physical-minded’ prefer the “poignée crosse” and the more ‘tactical minded’ prefer the “poignée droite” which can give a few critical centimeters of “allonge”.
But anyway, a “poignée droite” fencer will only change the position of his hand on the handle during a preparation phase, or during a lull in the assault. Within an action, the hand will keep a firm grip on the handle!
