Fenced sabre in college (in NJ, before I came to Maryland). But it's way different now. Sabre was all judged back then, so you had to make more deliberate moves. Epee and foil were electric, but fencers were attached to these reels. Now it's all batteries and LED lights on the helmets.

It's exciting to watch but I really had no idea who won they were all so close together.

The Olympics are great because its literally the only time me and my wife can watch sports together. She loves the swimming and gymnastics and I'm getting her into the volleyball as well.

Two competitors started in the same lane in the 800 race. They finished 8th and 9th and by a long margin.
