Fencing Match

Okay, so today was the first time I got to see a fencing match. It was really exciting as it was the semi-finals and it became really intense.
I wasn't really sure what was going on at first, but after a while I got the hang of it. First they fenced with the foil then the saber and finally the epee. The final score was 124-120. We lost by four points, but it was a great match to watch.
Here are some pictures.

So the girl on the left is ours and on the right is the opposing team. They were fencing with the epees 
 The girl on the left is actually the opposing team in this picture, she was left handed so they had to switch sides. I was told why, but it's something to do with the reffing.

Also same girls, both fencing epee, the girl on the left, Hannah was, someone correct me if I am wrong, but she was in the Olympics. That was pretty snazzy.
And of course, congrats to the winning team. Plymouth, we did our best.

Cheers!!
