Friends who are familiar with fencing know that most of the clothes are white when fencing. What is the main reason? Many friends will be curious. At the Olympic Games, most of the clothes in other events are in various colors, at least the clothes in each country are different, so why is fencing such an exception? Next, the author of this article will elaborate on this issue in detail.

To better explain this problem, we should talk about the origin of fencing. Fencing is mainly a fighting sport. As long as the player is strong enough, it is possible to pierce the opposite player. This sport is also Coubertin's favorite sport, fencing, the father of modern Olympics. Fencing is a one-on-one fighting event with a long history. Hamlet, a famous tragedy created more than 400 years ago, uses fencing duel to complete the climax and ending of the play. Therefore, there were not many high-tech scoring methods at that time, and only a few people could score by manual means.

Therefore ... in the early days of fencing, because the electronic referee has not been invented, the referee needs to rely on the human eye to make judgments. In order to assist the referee, people are indirectly wrapped in a ball of cotton stained with ink. When it comes into contact with clothes, there will be traces on them, and white cloth can print ink traces more clearly. Wearing white clothes, this tradition has been passed down.

To sum up, there is such a phenomenon in fencing competition. On the one hand, it is a continuation of traditional fencing. On the other hand, in the early days, when all the athletes wore white clothes, the players scored better and the infrastructure team was fast. If everyone wears all kinds of clothes in the early days, it is easy for the referee to misjudge in this process, which is also the main reason why they wear white clothes.
