I recently watched every bronze and gold match for the Olympics Fencing competitions for 2024 with the fencing club. Had a lot of fun with commentary and watching the USA take some medals.
Some hit lines from the Discord commentary:
“He should do drag with all these sudden splits”
“All epee knows is squeaky shoes be passive and bounce”
“Schasty move”
“Friendly fire is on“
“‘Not using that “foil her/him’ joke for the foil bouts is a missed opportunity”
“He’s gone through more weapons than drexel has working foils”
“The slow-mo jump into the air likes its the end of a 90s movie”
“‘You can’t fix a big bend in a foil or a sabre’ this man has never seen one of our foils”
“Hes gripping the strip with his toenails”
“That slow mo kinda giving ‘are we about to kiss'”
“Ravioli ravioli you should have ripostioli’d”
“I have a love-hate parasocial relationship with the Brit” (British announcer)
