This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Linked article inaccuracies by lavieenor
I didn't read the article closely and typed information from memory, but saw at least two inaccuracies in the article when I read it more closely. First, Pirkowski won 5-3, not 5-1, in the fence off. Second, women's saber went 18-9 on the day, not foil.
Also of note, Conway did not fence Sunday until subbed in for the last bout of the day which was in the head to head loss to Duke, which she won 5-1 and then won the fence off foil bout against Duke 5-3.
Interestingly, the official scoring that I linked here inaccurately notes that Conway lost the last bout 5-1 when, in fact, she won 5-1. There might be other inaccuracies in the official scoring.
