"American Woman", the iconic 60s anti-Vietnam War song, was written in a place that had nothing to do with protest, war, or even America. The Guess Who guitar player Randy Bachman describes the genesis of the hit: a cancelled gig, the sport of curling, and a broken guitar string.

A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

The sport happens so fast, and the rules are so arcane, that a layperson has hardly any idea of what is happening or why. Vox gives you a brief primer on fencing, its history, and how the rules work for the three different events.
