And there's lead keeper and Pauline Rampier.
For this gold medal match it will be Natalia Zurovleva.
Referee, film modder, video referee.
Nunta, Chantel, Sivanesan, and Andrei Vitkovsky.
And our assessors, our floor judges.
Kiefer Lee.
So what does Pauline Rampier need to do to be effective early on?
Well, she can't get into infighting battles with Kiefer. Kiefer's too good at that.
Yeah, that's a losing proposition.
Kiefer goes at 100 miles an hour.
I just want to say, David, they have fenced since 2013. That's when they first fenced.
And Kiefer's won most of the bouts.
The most recent was a year ago at the Grand Prix in Washington, D.C. She won 15-10.
And then back in 22 she won 15-9 and 19. I forget what happened in 2019 and 13.
It seems Kiefer's won most of the bouts. I think 7 of the 8 times.
Huge advantage for her.
But there's an inordinate amount of pressure on her. Same as Bozadze. In a different way.
But she's got everything.
She has everything.
But she doesn't have this.
And that brings that extra pressure. You know something? Bozadze channeled it tonight.
The pressure. He channeled it in a positive way. Let's see if Kiefer can too.
She's one of the greatest of all time.
Maybe the greatest of all time.
We have Valentina Bozadze. I'm going to go back to one of the greatest of all time.
Nice attack by Ranvier.
And Ranvier knows that Kiefer's had her number for their whole careers.
For over a decade.
In Kiefer's last bout she missed a couple early in the bout as well.
Usually she puts the light on.
Kiefer's attack.
Off target.
Still the attack from the left.
That's the Kiefer accurate point combined with the Kiefer squirm.
She's so hard to hit.
Still attack left.
Ramiz says the referee which means Kiefer didn't initially hit.
That's a challenge.
I think my heart rate has finally gone back down to normal after the Bozadze bout.
Stance. Ranvier has one challenge left.
That really wasn't a good one to challenge when you look back at that replay.
Kiefer off target there.
You said it.
About the quarterfinal.
When she was down 11-4.
Here she doesn't have to go looking.
For the on button for her hit making machine.
You know something?
Still the attack. I remember now when I saw that she won in Washington a year ago at the Grand Prix.
She had a similar thing there.
She was also down 11-4 or 11-2 and came back.
Now it's back in my head.
She's got things well at hand here does Lee Kiefer.
If she keeps this up we won't even get to the first break.
Using proposition for Ranvier to get into those little infighting boxing matches.
Kiefer's great at that.
That's the attack by Kiefer.
Into double digits.
Wow.
How about she's on her way to going from Olympic gold in 24 to the world champion in 25.
There wasn't a world championships in 24.
The Olympic championships.
Whatever I said.
Listen she's light on her feet.
She has an accurate point.
She has everything and when she dodged that bullet earlier.
Referee's going to look at this before making a call.
That couple there.
She's too good at that.
Kiefer is the master. Maybe the best in the world at infighting.
What a riposte and she's one away David.
There's 19 seconds on the clock.
She's not going to wait.
Why would she?
Challenging it.
Delaying the inevitable.
Yeah. Time runs out.
In the opening period of this gold medal match.
But.
We're not going to get very far into the.
I would wager that we are not going to get very far into the second period.
I agree with that and it's sort of refreshing because a lot of times you see these bouts that are sort of 4-3.
6-7 or whatever.
Lee Kiefer.
She's almost like a sabre fencer the way she fences.
It's like she has dinner reservations or something that she has to get to.
But I think she probably does.
Oh man I want to be at that dinner.
Well.
Ranvier is going to most likely go home having taken a silver medal at the world championship.
You know I don't.
I don't think she is going to be.
I think she'll be very pleased with that.
Yeah.
She tried her best.
And she did a great job.
And she lost to the currently number one ranked fencer.
Her ranking is going to go up.
Yeah.
But you know.
There it is.
Our 2025.
Women's foil.
World champion.
Gets her first.
She's got two gold medals from the Olympics.
And now she's got the whole set.
She actually has three because she won the team also last year.
She has three gold medals.
Oh yeah.
Fantastic.
When you look at what happened.
In the quarter finals.
She was dead in the water.
She was down.
She was done.
And she was off.
Yeah.
And.
And then said no wait.
I'm not finished.
I'm just.
That.
Her.
Her whole day.
Has been.
A work of art.
If you could do what she did.
In the quarter finals.
And then come out here and win it.
In like record time.
Then.
When you deserve it.
Muhammad Ali used to say that he.
Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee.
And Lee Kiefer is the Muhammad Ali.
There it's official.
She's a Muhammad Ali offensive.
Because her footwork is so light.
That she does float like a butterfly.
And her point is so accurate.
That she stings like a bee.
She has.
