Explanation

The visual cues provided in this table highlight bouts that may be considered surprises based on the relative strengths of the competitors:

Wins against significantly stronger opponents stand out as impressive feats and are marked in bright green.
Conversely, defeats against opponents who were perceived to be much easier are indicated in bright red, signaling an unexpected loss.
The color gradation from red to green provides an intuitive sense of the degree of surprise in each bout outcome. The closer to gray, the more the outcome was in line with expectations.

This visualization is designed to give both fencers and spectators an immediate sense of the unexpected outcomes of the competition. While every bout has its unique circumstances, these indicators can help highlight moments where a fencer overcame the odds or where there was an unexpected turn of events.
