I have a feeling that these elderly fencers could wipe the floor with untrained or even amateur level opponents, so to claim that they are not real competitors is ridiculous at best.
As it looks like Kocab has been competing in the womens division since around the mid 2010s from what I found on the FIE website, I wonder if a "play nice, or do not play at all" policy has been instituted, or if the other women really do not give a shit. Either way, reach is an advantage in a sport that requires you to touch your opponent to win.
