None of those sports has the potential impact from a single hit that a lance does! I speak from a scientific standpoint as well as just a spectator.

They have fencing but it is ninny. They’re in full armor and have to stop every time a strike is made. Kind of hard to stop the horse and pull back, and I don’t know how useful a flexible lance would be.

It would be fun, though.
