Who are you calling a Sabre Peasant? — The Fencing Podcast

It's a bit late but in this episode, Sean and Gav are back from Paris with tales of daring and heroism (not their own). We cover all the action from Katowice (women's foil), Heidenheim (men's epee)...

Sean made a thing. Worth a watch if you like fencing or sports documentaries or have an hour and a half that needs filling. youtu.be/RFx3xq-THb4 @ScottishFencing @SSSFencing @britishfencing #fencing #sportsdocumentary – at Edinburgh, Scotland

With the expanded format for the Challenge International de Paris, hall 3 is transformed for finals day (this is quite nerdy but, if you’ve been used it’s usual layout, this is a bit of a surprise). Currently being used for warm-ups. Looks good! @ffescrime

To avoid fencing too long in the heat, we are running significantly ahead of schedule. Keep an eye on our live results! We’re getting people out into the sunshine as quick as we can!!

Wondering if that's India's first ever commonwealth Gold fencing medal? Is it their first ever medal? (Can't recall if they scored one in Largs) #cfc22

Looking for great examples of positive coaching in *Fencing*. What does it look like? Who led it? How was it created? There must be interesting stories out there. #fencing #coaching #positivecoaching #sportsculture

The most disappointing thing about Roy Kent is that he's a fan of Dan Brown.
Totally left field observation. Daughter has taken to watching CBBC Gym Stars about young gymnasts. The professionalism on display is thought provoking & in complete contrast to most similarly aged British fencers. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b….

Gym Stars

In this series we go behind the scenes of the lives of some of the UK's most promising young gymnasts.

One of the gymnasts DOES reference the coaching scandal obliquely when she mentions her interest in nutrition & that a previous coaching relationship gave her a bad reltionship with food. It's not completely ignored.

But as a show aimed at young children, I am not sure how they would put the BG problems across. Curious about anyone's thoughts.
