I checked YouTube to see if any film from the Olympics was up yet. Apparently not. I did find this, however: CLICKY #1.
Modern sport fencing with electrical scoring equipment (don't bother with defense, or any kind of interplay—as would happen in a real duel with sharp weapons [such events tend to focus the mind]—just hit your opponent 1/25th of a second before he or she hits you) reminds me a bit of this: CLICKY #2.
