Fencing is a very old sport that came from sword-fighting.
Fencing is very fast and graceful.
The athletes in fencing are called fencers.
Fencers wear special suits and helmets so they do not get hurt.
A fencer gets a point for touching the other fencer with the sword.
A touch is called a hit.
The fencer with the most hits wins.
Through wires and special clothing, fencers are connected to an electronic scoring system that shows when they have been hit.
