| The CIP (Challenge International de Paris) is is the first Grand Prix of the 2012 London Olympics competition cycle. It is also the introduction of the new foil mask which increases target area: the bib is now part of the target!
This prestigious and hotly contested tournament frequently features finalists like Sanzo of Italy (who won in 2004), and Le Pechoux of France (he never won, but is in the 2005 final). These fencing titans dominate the field, and it takes extreme talent to knock them out of a competition.
This year, however, we saw tremendous performances from American fencers Getz and Massialas, as well as Kruse of Great Britain. Perhaps we are seeing a shake-up in the fencing world. Perhaps the old guard is changing.
Tremendous Upset
Early in the tournament, the FP crew came across Getz USA vs Sanzo ITA fencing the round of 64. Sanzo is an almost unstoppable mix of experience and skill, using tempo to open up his opponents, and patience to whittle them down. In this bout, Getz created amazing actions and Sanzo disbelievingly watched the bout spin out of control.
