And yes it's all over, today was the 7th and last day of spectacular fencing - no longer will I seat all comfy on my bed with a cup of coffee watching fencers exert themselves. This fantastic event was held in Sheffield, Britain, and I must say the online coverage was great appart from some MASK problems. The streaming video quality was high and the commentators were truly witty. I also enjoyed chatting with other viewers (mostly fencers themselves) on the chat at the screen-side :)
