USA? But he's not white, might not even be Christian, and he's skinny!

Ah, living the American dream... move to America, accomplish an astounding feat, remain poor and fairly obscure to sports fans and the public.

Of course the prick foiled Griff's chances of being the first American, but he can still be the first native born.

Is directing a bout the same as refereeing, or does someone else still decide who won?

It's the same thing. We have a lot of self-directed events in epee since its usually pretty straight forward.

Does anyone still compete in the saber? Seems like it would require tremendous strength in the wrist

Sabre is still fenced and I actually fenced it tonight. A modern electric sabre is a lot lighter than a cavalry sword though. Sabre as its fenced now is more about speed and the blade actions suffer for it. It is still very explosive and a damn lot of fun. I fenced heavy sabre a couple years ago with a rounded blade, it was fun but I felt lucky to have gotten through it with minimal bruising. There is still Schlager fencing and historical fencing if you want something heavy cracking your noggin or actual blood.
