cyranoVR's Journal: Hungarian Women's Epee Gold Medal Winner Timea Nagy

Reuters: Nagy puts motherhood ahead of her gold
Hungarian Timea Nagy one her second consecutive Olympic women's epee individual title on Sunday, but she puts the joys of motherhood above winning the gold medal at the world's top sporting event.

"I am extremely happy with the gold medal but you cannot compare this with becoming a mother, something I have done twice," Nagy said after her 15-10 win over world number one Laura Flesson-Colovic of France.

"To me a baby is more important"

Nagy is 34 years old.

MrsVR was very happy to read this one :)

Men's Foil

USA got knocked out before the top 8. I don't know the details exactly, but Kellner only lost 14-15 (!) and some junior fencer earned a medal as well. Crazyness.

Yeah, I've been posting updates all day to FencingMedia.org [fencingmedia.org]

Following Dan was exciting for me because we were on the team together at Columbia [cs.com] (that's me on the far right holding the Final Four trophy with Dan - olympians Jed Dupree and Erinn Smart are on the left).

Re:I was watching this

[Organized Konfusion]

well i was watching the fencing and I knew you would be watching, its weird because I only know a small part of you, have never seen or spoken to you and yet I knew exactly what you were doing at that point in time with 90% certainty.

Re:I was watching this

[cyranoVR]

Well, anyway, what did you think of the fencing?

Re:I was watching this

[Organized Konfusion]

it was good fun, the wires and shit all over the place added to my enjoyment! but yeah quick and exciting sport, one of the better ones of the olympics. I watched the mens final too that was close match great to watch. i have also been watching the sync diving and boxing.

Re:I was watching this

[cyranoVR]

Wait..."wires"..."men's final too?" You must be on the other side of the pond, eh?

All they've shown over here was the Men's Saber final, which was wireless.

Re:I was watching this

[Organized Konfusion]
