Ok, here's one.

Did you know that Fencing is one of the only four sports that has been present in all of the modern day Olympics? I don't know the other three though.

14 events held at every modern day Olympic games: 100-, 400-, 800-, and 1500-meter races, the marathon, 110 m. hurdles, high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, 1500 m. freestyle swimming, and individual saber.

Taken from By the Sword, written by Richard Cohen.

Oh. sorry my bad. :P I need to check my sources.Thanks

The stronger swordsman does not always win.

I thought that Shotokan meant 'house of pine waves.' :-?
