Budapest 2019 Fencing World Championships [FINAL] USA v France | Men's Foil Team Fencing

Описание к видео Budapest 2019 Fencing World Championships [FINAL] USA v France | Men's Foil Team Fencing

Description:
Despite being the most dominant at World Cup events in the 2016 to 2021 Olympic Cycle, Team USA has never won the Men's Team Foil World Championships ever before. Team USA had made the World Championships Finals in 2013, 2017, and 2018, and every time it had been defeated by Italy.
France is a historical power house of the Men's Foil Event, however, recently it has been outshone by Team USA. Despite this, Team France had won the World Championships in 2007 and 2014, and placed Silver at the Rio Olympic Games (where Team USA placed Bronze).
Will Team USA win its first ever Gold, or will France bring back another World Championships Gold Medal?

Rant:
Budapest 2019 - A Certain Kind of Magic - Magically starting the trend of 720p streams at Fencing World Championships (but at least there weren't random fps drops like in Cairo - what an embarrassment). Also the main camera is so far away from the strip that you would need actual magic to be able to see the blade actions. Doing multi-layer cropping and tracking would take too long, so I just increased the scale of the fencing parts to ~120.

On the subject of editing, I reduced the volume on Karim's cringey scream at the last point too. I don't believe that after commentating for 8 years, Karim suddenly gained a monstrous amount of enthusiasm for the winner of this bout and Team Germany at Euros (and for this season only). All his last-minute screaming did was to dampen my enthusiasm for the end of the match.

In all seriousness, the Budapest World Championships seemed to focus entirely on the experience of the audience who turned up at the venue, and while that's great (as far as I can tell from Bizzi photos and the 720 stream), how many people do you think were in that stadium on the day compared to anyone with an internet connection who wants to watch fencing for all eternity
