(KMOV) -- Virginia tried fencing for the first time. The Olympic sport
of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts
you see on film or on the stage.

It's two fencers performing an intense dance on a 6-foot-by-40-foot
strip. The movement is so fast that in modern fencing the touches are
scored electrically - more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.
Fencing has been an Olympic sport since the modern Olympics started in
1896 and is one of 4 sports to be contested in every modern Olympics.
