Epee: There are individual and team events for men and women. During the competition, athletes are all effective parts, only allowed to stab, not allowed to split. It is the earliest fencing event with electronic referee. Both sides hit each other simultaneously in 1/4 seconds. If one side hits after 1/4 seconds, the electric referee only displays the light of the side that hit first. In modern sports competitions, fencing is an epee, and the outcome is decided by fencing. Because the effective area is large and there is no rule of priority jurisdiction, athletes are more cautious and pay attention to the timing.
There are four events in the Olympic Games: individual men (included in 1900), team (included in 1908), individual women (included in 1996) and team (included in 1996).
Sabre: one of the fencing events. Men's and women's events include individual events and team events. In the competition, chopping is the main way, and thorns can also be used. Above the waist (including the head and thighs) is the effective part. Wear metal clothes and a metal mask on the effective part. When hitting the effective part, the electric referee displays colored lights; When the invalid part is hit, there is no light display. When hitting the opponent, the referee will make a judgment according to the principle of priority jurisdiction. If both sides attack and hit at the same time, the game will start again in the same place without judgment. Because of the large movement range, fast attack speed and strong threat, athletes are required to be flexible in footwork and quick in tactical response. The electric referee has been used since 1989. There are four Olympic events: individual men (included in 1896), team (included in 1908), individual women (included in 2004) and team (included in 2008).
