Ex-international fencer here - even if there were records, the rules have changed substantially in the past few years anyway. Sabre especially is a totally different sport than it was 30 years ago. The scoring box lockout timing has changed twice, which has made a huge difference. Lots of sports are in constant flux though. The reason I’m opposed to something like fortnite being in the olympics is actually because a single for-profit vendor (Epic) has a total stranglehold on everything about the game. In fencing, any manufacturer can make any of the equipment (if they can do so safely), and anyone can (theoretically) read the rulebook and try to give it a go. The same can’t be said about fortnite.
