Fencing is a one-on-one sport. It is popular in the United States. Here, one of the biggest fencing events is the Junior Olympics. This year, it took place in Denver, the capital of Colorado.
Fencers use three kinds of weapons: the foil(花剑), the sabre(佩剑) and the epee(重剑). I use the epee. With the epee, fencers can score on the whole body from head to toe.
I went with my teammates, Anacan and Cameron. We fenced in a team event. Both of them are great fencers, as well as my good friends. As this may be their last team event before going to college, all of us wanted to play well. We warmed up and felt ready to take on the rest of the fencers.
During our match, we had a lot of fun and cheered each other on. We made quick adjustments(调整) according to what our coach asked us to do. At the same time, we shared methods, on how to fight against our opponents.
Though we fought really hard, we lost by one point in the end. However, we were still happy to fight and help each other.
