I dont know about other fencer’s friends and colleagues, but when I showed videos of the Olympics and world championships around my office, everyone was amazed by it. So even if a sleepy NIH office loved web casts of fencing, imagine what network TV can do. With slow motion replay and simple, intelligent commentary hopefully…
So there is that hope: Tim Morehouse strikes again, brings us good news of fencing finally making it to TV. The Olympic coverage done by NBC was well received over the web, so I guess they are expanding! So far fencing has been following a similar pattern to US skating and tennis. US gets medals in sport, US sport gets more TV!
