Fencing. All other sports are for pussies.

If you're so tough, why are you wearing pads and a mask?

Pussy.

'Cause they look damn sexy. The mask is to strike fear into the heart of your opponent, who can barely see your face: Only the looming stoic swordsman standing sentry before the strip.

Also, there are no pads involved. Just canvas uniform that resists being stabbed in the event a blade breaks and become a deadly piercing weapon.

>deadly piercing weapon.

Now THAT sounds like a sport.

Some olympic fencer got pierced in the chest, walked off discounting injury (his jacket was becoming blood-soaked), then passed out with a collapsed lung.


He won gold.
