...heard the crash too late. Two lengthy pipes used as scenery ballast fell to the stage, striking the dancer. Dr. Max Cohen, 42, a clinical assistant professor of surgery at George Washington University School of Medicine, who had been sitting front row center, treated her for a fractured shoulder blade and a 3½-in. gash across the scalp.

When Smirnov and West Germany's Matthias Behr lunged simultaneously, the tip of Behr's foil struck Smirnov's chest protector with unusual force. The blade snapped off at the tip; the jagged end then sprang upward, cut through Smirnov's wire-mesh face protector and sank between his left eye and left frontal lobe, severing an artery and piercing his brain...
