Fencing is a very elegant Olympics-level international sport involving two helmeted competitors representing two different teams or nations or clubs. The competitors carry a very thin sword called a saber, epee, or sometimes rapier. The competitors try to lunge, evade, and strike at their opponent with their thin swords while maintaining the rules of social spacing and gestured forewarned and time-gauged advances. Fencing is considered an elegant competition, not unlike chess or polo, and the competing athletes are required to mix grace and agility, almost like ballet-dancers(!), with quick-footed defense and offense. The French school of fencing involves more quick and rapid and relentless approaches to offense, while Venetian school of fencing involces more careful strategic 'scheduling' of strike prioritization and ideal-spot targeting.
Multiple national teams have been known to perform well during the Olympic Games (Summer), particularly France and Italy, but other nations including Finland and America have also performed in thrilling ways in past competitions!
This Olympics-sports fan-fiction sees two fictional legendary national fencers from Finland (Isaac) and France (Gem) face each other at the Summer Olympics, and was inspired by the well-televised recent Rio Olympics, something we all remember as a pre-Coronavirus quarantine media era of new millennium diarism!
Why aren't more sports fan-fictions considered mainstream, right? It seems to me with all these recent fantasy-adventure comic book films of late, we might appreciate more entertainment regarding the diarism and design and decadence of sports folklore, right?

The Rio Olympics were underway, and Brazil prepared to host a number of nations with athletes competing in multiple varied sports including swimming, track, and wrestling. One of the sports would be fencing, again. France and Italy had competed well in the past, but this time around, France and Finland boasted the greatest contenders. The event coordinators prepared to boast a televised showcase of two iconic national celebrity fencers from France (Gem) and Finland (Isaac), and this was going to be outstanding modern television entertainment for global audiences and even youngsters who'd get the chance to enjoy the sheer design of the dioramic sport of international fencing.
RIO: We're so happy to see Gem and Isaac prepare to face each other hopefully in the Olympics finals this year in our arena!
ISAAC: I just want to win and win with style...but composure.
GEM: I can hear the bells of glory returning to France this year.
Isaac, a man from Finland, was half-Algerian (mother's side). He attended Cambridge in England and competed in fencing for Cambridge and stood out before competing professionally for the national team of Finland. He prepared to face his only rival this year in Rio, France's prowess-driven Gem. Isaac was considered a much more elegant and cool fencer and would have to consider how to bring his style of composure to first-grade to deal with his competitor's more furious offense. Nevertheless, Isaac remained very calm for this exciting event.
SPORTS-WRITER: Watching Isaac do fencing is like a movie, because his swordsmanship is like a ballet theater of muscle.
Gem meanwhile of France had begun to stand out in various club fencing competitions in the USA. He'd earned the reputation of being both a daredevil and a provocateur. Gem often joked in the media that while fencing seemed like feminine ballet, it required a fair dose of sure-footed offensive confidence and therefore macho imagination. Gem believed fencing should be considered a timeless thing of athletic strength and honor...and dexterity.
SPORTS-WRITER: Watching Gem of France do his fencing act on stage is like seeing the Hulk mixed with a dash of She-Hulk.
Isaac had read several books about fencing and preferred the Venetian school of fencing, while Gem preferred the French school of fencing. Isaac from Finland had become known for his studious devotion to frencing standards and traditions and was often called the 'prince of the saber' but his opponent in Rio would be Frenchman equally 'versed' in the qualities of athletic dimensions.
GEM: Fencing is such an old sport, and it involves gentleman agreeing to engage in both competition and individualism.
When the competition began, everyone was focused on Isaac (Finland) and Gem (France) who basically soared into the Rio finals. When their final match finally began, no one was surprised when Isaac took the first offensive advance and striked Gem with a sure-footed but elegant lunge with his sword, and Gem had to literally shirk backwards. This however would prompt the furious Gem to return shortly thereafter with a relentless form of placed body moves against Isaac.
When Gem placed a well-aimed strike right at Isaac's lower body towards the final moments of the very long final Rio math, Isaac performed nothing short of a miraculous evavise leap before landing miraculously on both feet and dodging yet another furious attack before striking perfectly at Gem's chest, claiming the championship for Finland.
SPORTS-WRITER: This unusually entertaining Rio fencing championship should inspire video-game entertainment for fans.
ISAAC: I grabbed the gorgeous trophy from that beautiful presenter in Rio and gave her a shared kiss on the cheek and cheered.
GEM: I foresee somehow somewhere facing Isaac again and somehow claiming a retribution victory from the Finnish man of style!
If you liked this short-story about these two amazing fencing athletes from Finland and France, consider endorsing and supporting the international sport and the Olympic Games and ask your parents for a cool Summer-Games video-game for your play-system! Fencing will always be considered a timeless thing of delight.
