Olympic fencing

Olympic fencing is a competitive sport where two athletes duel using swords on a narrow strip. There are three disciplines: foil, épée, and sabre, each with different rules and target areas. The goal is to score points by striking your opponent following specific rules, such as prioritizing certain attack and defense actions. Fencers wear protective gear, including a mask, jacket, and glove, and use electronic scoring equipment to register touches. The sport combines agility, strategy, and precision, requiring competitors to anticipate and react quickly to their opponent's movements within the rules of engagement.
