2005 World Championships Coverage

New: Available for ordering now!

In October 2005, Fencing Pictures sent its own team to the World Championships, a four-man squad with a a cameraman, a commentator, a designer, and an internet tech. Ten long, busy days later, we had interviews, pictures, a website, and 6 complete days of broadcast-quality fencing video in the can. There was so much footage to go through, it took a month just to sort it out.

The result is a 6-DVD set, chock full of fencing goodness, which is available individually or as a collection. Each DVD is filled to capacity with 2 hours of fencing, shot from 9 different cameras. The footage has swoops, pans, slow-motion repeats, on-screen graphics, and an optional audio track with commentary by Alex Ripa and fencers like Ivan Lee (USA), Aida Mohammed (Hungary), Sherraine Mackay (Canada), Linda Strachan (UK), Paul Soter (USA), Lindsey Campbell (USA), Maya Lawrence (USA), and more! The bonus material (varies by DVD) includes interviews with fencing notables, extra bouts from the rounds of 16 and 8, and awards ceremonies.

The 2005 Leipzig World Championships DVDs is the best collection of competition fencing video available in the world.
