looks like a golden chance for Iran to enter the semifinal. even though Georgia is no easy after beating USA but still Iran will be favorite here. even though they still have to beat one "big team" for a medal which is unlikely but even a 4th place will be good.

 

btw Iran actually has 4 sabre fencers there. so the question is why Rahbari didn't participate in individual event ?! :mumble: another possible Israel draw maybe :wall:

 

I don't think there was a Israel draw for him, since all the preliminary pools but 1 had 7 fencers (the max allowed) and the one that only had 6 didn't have any Israeli at the start (actually the ref of that pool was from Iran, so it means that there were no Iranian athletes scheduled there in any case)...

I really don't know why Rahbari didn't start in the individual event...maybe he has a slight injury and the team officials decided to save him for the team event (especially considering that he's not the best specialist and he didn't have many chances to go deep in the individual competition)...

Yes, it's a serpentine system purely based on the world ranking*. I checked the ranking before this Championships...Rahbari was just ahead of  Deary so he would have taken his place in the draw.

I have a question here, Can they predict the draw before announcing the pools ? is it purely based on the world ranking ? if yes do they get the list of registered fencers before the competition to predict anything ?! because I know when the pools are out, withdrawing from the competition means you also can't participate in team event.

 

that wasn't an old injury. they would bring Fotouhi instead and even if that was a last minute injury we should still see his name in the list like all those Congolese fencers. it doesn't make sense after all. not a big deal though as you said Round of 32 or max 16 is the best we should expect from him. but still that was surprising for me.

 

but you might be right, I know they care more about the world team ranking because of the Olympic qualification. to keep Iran in top 8. I know it's still early for the Olympic but as long as you are high in WR you get easier opponents in early rounds and it's easier to keep the ranking.

I don't know if the pools are purely based on ranking or if they have more groups based on ranking and then they make an actual draw within those (at the world champs rules could be different from world cup stages)...

the only thing I know for sure is that the top 16 of the WR are exempted from the pools and the preliminary draw, but this isn't Rahbari's case, so I guess it's a useless info...

I'm gonna try to see if I can figure this thing out...

Yes, it's a serpentine system purely based on the world ranking*.

I checked the ranking before this Championships...Rahbari was just ahead of :GBR Deary so he would have taken his place in the draw. Deary faced :ISR Voronov in the pool.

 

*with an exception: if two fencers of the same country are drawn in the same pool, the second one is "shifted" to the next pool.

well, in this case things are a lot clearer now...

they just knew what was going to happen and decided to avoid the damage...

thanks. now this makes sense . that's a shame though. but that's something we (Iranians) have to live with and this is not going to change anytime soon. :(

      The full schedule in shorttrack always appears very late, like the day/evening before the first day. So tomorrow evening, you should see it here: https://www.shorttrack.swisstiming.com/?evt=11213100000127

      I think you're doom spiraling too hard after just a few races...   Giacomel is very strong and I think that he might definitely land on a podium this season. The Italian women's team has a lot of very talented juniors that just need some time to grow. Dorothea Wierer also took her time to grow into her best form, so why is it not possible to give some time to the other talented athletes? Not everyone is bound to crush it at 21-23 y. o.

      Of course they could make lineal world records, but they don't want that, because those records would never be beaten. And it's way more marketable, flashy etc. when you have "modern" WR and they happen regularly. Athletics have started mastering this in their course of upgrading the old WRs with "exciting new stars".   There is absolutely no reason, when your current weight is up to 89 kg for example, and the previous WR has been set in the old weight at 85-86-87 etc. that it's not automatically taken. It has been set under the current limit, there is no difference if the person weighted 85 or 88.5 kg it's within the range.. Now if the old category was over 89, then there would be an advantage, so those WR shouldn't be taken.    The best way is, like you mentioned, to use the bodyweight of everyone, but that is an impossible ask for any weightlifting governing body. I'm not even sure how they are able to run a normal excel..

Olympic sports Canoeing, Field Hockey, Golf, Modern Pentathlon, Shooting, Sport Climbing, Tennis, and Weightlifting will not be involved in any matter while the non-Olympic sport of Karate was also dropped. Baseball/Softball, Dancesport, and Wushu are non-Olympic sports which will get to participate in some capacity.   22/31 Olympic sports will be present (surfing has yet to be involved at a Youth Olympics).   I know we can't (or should) emulate the Olympic program, but hosts should try to include as many sports as possible, especially the relatively cheaper ones like shooting, sport climbing and weightlifting. The good thing is that it looks like the mixed NOCs events are gone (I think they mentioned this earlier).

      schedule of events is always the same, you can look at the previous round and see how normally things go   no finals on Friday (qualifications of all events only), medal sessions are always only on Saturday and Sunday (alternating men and women's distances on the 2 days, mixed relay normally ends on Sunday)

      There are both positives and negatives in this situation. The negative is that we are once again changing the weights and erasing records in an attempt to forget the past and "start all over". Nothing speaks more about the integrity of a sport, when it changes it's system every 5 years.   On the positive is that they are actually reducing the number of weights and not keeping the absurd 10. And i know, that for a long time in the past they were always 10, but i think 8 is the perfect balance.   If only wrestling could reduce them to 8 as well.. Boxing could have 10, but that would still be a plus from their current 13-15, or whatever number they have.
