I cant believe what just happened. made it to the final and secured a team spot in Paris 🥹🥹🥹🥹. I shed a lot of happy tears for them. 

What a great way for Jiri Beran to probably finish his career - just phenomenal performance from your team, congrats. With both Japan and Czechia qualified Ukrainians will have for whom to root for in team epee.

and  Neisser Loyola can join the party, too

 

he looked so sad and destroyed yesterday after losing the final vs  Cannone because he knew he wasn't going to Paris (at least in that moment), but now I guess his mindset has completely turned around

Yeah, thanks. He mentioned in media that this is his last season. And you can't have better moment than finishing your career at the Olympics. Just amazing.

Yeah, he was surely cheering in his hotel room for the team 😃😃😃😃

 

I think must be devastated as finishing 4th in the previous WC, 6th this time but none of them, including in the individual ranking, does not make it to Paris ...... I guess they have to rely on Bayard to make it there through the qualification event.

I am new in fencing rules, so could you please help me with this question?

If team is qualified, can compete in individual all 3 athletes?

Yes, 3 athletes will compete in the individual competition. My guess, the top three has been decided. Jiří Beran, Jakub Jurka, Martin Rubeš. 4th spot will be for the alternate. This time it was Čupr and I guess he will go or there may inner qualification event for them. Lately, Josef Balcar is also very good so I guess either Čupr or Balcar will be the alternate. So he will be a part of the team for the team event but won't participate in the individual competition. Would if there was an injury of one of other members.

First part of the qualification is over, now we'll have:

 

1) Zonal Qualification tournaments in April - this will bring the total to 34 athletes per individual event;

2) since France won't need to use any host quota place, 8 Universality Places decided by the Tripartite Commission. That's a lot of places, especially considering that the few decent fencers from eligible countries could be qualified on their own by then;

3) reallocation of unused Universality Places:

"if the Tripartite Commission is not able to allocate Universality Place(s), such unallocated Place(s) will be attributed by the FIE to the next highest-ranked eligible athlete in the Individual Senior Adjusted Official Ranking (AOR) as of 1 April 2024, across all weapon and all FIE Zones, but strictly respecting the following:
- The maximum number of athletes in each individual event (37) and

- The NOC must not have any athlete already qualified in the corresponding individual event "

 

The following would be the first fencers in line for such reallocations - of course some of them will likely qualify first through their Zonal QT

I would be surprised if more than four quotas went to tripartite nations. Off the top of my head I can think of as possible candidates.

Kuwait has already one fencer qualified in sabre, will they still be considered in epee/foil? I guess having no women competing lower their chances. 

Also, will participation in the Zonal QT be taken into account?  for example has a decently placed woman in epee but haven't entered her so far for the tournament, while they did enter a couple fencers in other weapons.
