Fencing European Championships 2016

 

Women's Team Sabre Semifinals

 

Russia vs Poland

France vs Ukraine

 

and this simply means the end of any hope for Italy to get a favourable draw at the Olympics...

therefore, no chances of getting at least a semifinal place in this discipline for us...

 

 

Men's Team Foil Semifinals

 

Italy vs Great Britain

Russia vs France

 

meanwhile our defending champions still have all the chances of getting one of the top 2/3 seeds in Rio, which means they will have at least a not so complicated quarterfinal round assault in August...

and so...according to my quick (very quick, therefore with high chance of mistake) calculations, considering the best possible result in the remaining Continental Championships for the teams that yet have to complete them, the Olympic seedings in the Men's Team Foil and in the Women's Team Sabre should be as follows:

 

Men's Team Foil

 

#1 Italy (384 points)

#2 United States (they can't score more than 344 points, provided they're going to win the Pan-Am Champs...and they would get 332 points if they end up in 2nd place in Panama - I just can't think of them not making at least the final)

#3 Russia (330 points)

#4 France (304 points)

#5 China (266 points, they have already ended their pre-Games campaign)

#6 Great Britain (231 points)

#7 Egypt (206 points, same situation as China)

#8 Brazil (they can't score more than 188 points in any case)

 

therefore, the table draw of the Olympic tournament should look like this:

 

Quarterfinals:

#1 Italy vs #8 Brazil

#4 France vs #5 China

#3 Russia vs #6 Great Britain

#2 USA vs #7 Egypt

 

Semifinals:

ITA/BRA vs FRA/CHN

RUS/GBR vs USA/EGY

 

 

in the Women's Team Sabre, meanwhile, the situation is already established and no changes will happen to this ranking (obviously for what concerns the final positions...there will be of course some scoring adjustments)...

 

#1 Russia (424 points)

#2 Ukraine (364 points)

#3 France (308 points)

#4 United States (they can't score more than 274 points and they will go down to 262 if they get only a 2nd place at the Pan-Am Champs...once again, I can't even imagine them finishing lower than that...and in any case even switching position with Poland would mean nothing for both of them)

#5 Poland (248 points)

#6 Italy (236 points)

#7 South Korea (230 points, they have already ended their pre-Games campaign)

#8 Mexico (they can't score more than 189 points in any case)

 

so, also in this case the table draw of the Olympic tournament should look like this:

 

Quarterfinals:

#1 Russia vs #8 Mexico

#4 USA vs #5 Poland

#3 France vs #6 Italy

#2 Ukraine vs #7 South Korea

 

Semifinals:

RUS/MEX vs USA/POL

FRA/ITA vs UKR/KOR

I'm glad that in the Pan American champions small Caribbean nations are making their debut, like     and   to name a few... so far, regular, expected results for Mexican competitors; let's see if they can add some medals in team competition.
