We have to save the day by getting the 5th place in men's epee. And then hope that at least two out of       will be in the Top4 on the Olympic ranking after all the World Cup events are done. We can be in deep shit if  and  win against  and  today. 

france and italy have the advantage to go to the final, and let's hope that kazakhstan finishes 8th

Disaster,  upsets  in men's epee.... we got one of the most talented team with two World Champions and this happens. Why do we have to make the qualification hard for ourselves? 

korea, kazakhstan and venezuela in the top 4 it's a disaster for hungary france italy

it can't because Russians support putin and war in Ukraine. We cannot shake hands to people who financed missiles which killed our nation every motherf.cking day

these athletes have nothing to do with it, it's a bit easy to make this deduction..

As for the handshake issue: it's beyond stupid for fencing to force athlete to shake hands. Even tennis, one of the most high class sports there is, allows players to not shake hands. FIE and the fencing community are full of themselves if they think that this is okay. And not just for the Ukraine-Russia situation. Don't ignore the human element of the sport, you can't force athletes to respect each other. 

I don't agree, in all sports we greet each other, it's a rule of respect, I find it sad that politics take over sport, which must be outside of all that.

in terms of the Olympic Qualification, good that  and lost in the rd of 32, but Tomorrow's matchup between  and  is crucial for our team

 

we absolutely need to win that and score some big points at the end of the tournament

 

hopefully, also  should be stopped by  so to allow both the European powerhouses to close down on the top 4 of the OQR

but that's how it will be! Finally, I hope !

against Germany...not sure what I want...

Italian win so they have a minor chance to reach Top4 (instead of Korea/USA) or German win would reduce the distance to overtake Italy...

we must hope for italy top4 and hope that the usa comes out of this top

Yeah, after the matches are done, I will most the current ranking. 

France will lose big? how much will we spend if we finish 5th?

It will be , they got a big advantage over us thanks to their upset against France.  and  still have a chance, but they will have to work extra hard to overtake Switzerland. 

you can make us a simulation when for the girls of the sword?

hungary for the european quota? poland and italy in the top 4?

that loss is hurting Germany's chances to qualify...
I don't think that they will be able to pass Italy in the ranking, so their only chance is that Italy overtakes Korea (i.e. direct quotas for Hungary, Italy and France)

if france enters the top 4, the host country place cannot be given?

with this gerontocracy managing the team, I don't see  qualifying for the Olympics in the men's Sabre

the european quota will be decided between germany and italy, and you are still ahead of them

Yes, they can. As long as you qualify at the least 4 teams, you can invite two more and have the full squad in Paris.
