whaaaatttt? but why should we get such a national TV??????? :facepalm::wall::wall::wall:

just to let everybody know...they stopped live broadcasting from Fencing WC to air a senseless sports news show filled with "old" stuff (because yesterday's events are already old stuff)...:yikes::facepalm::wall:

 

well, at least today Eurosport is still live with fencing...

and also the table draws for the women's epee and the men's sabre team events are out...

 

Italy will have to face GER in the round of 16 and possibly CHN in the quarterfinals in the women's team epee, meanwhile we're gonna have a big clash against RUS in the quarters of the men's team sabre...

 

so, I guess we won't see any of those 2 Italian teams among the medallists...

I was walking to the subway watching the match on my phone with my umbrella still wet from the morning rain in the other hand. I was almost imitating all of the moves, luckily there was no one in the street so I didn’t kill anybody :d great result for Alice!

I’m not sure of this, in general the Italian teams behave better than individuals, at least as far as I can remember for the last years. It is sure, however, that the male teams should wake up, and that technicians have to open the spots to younger athletes.

great win for Volpi (perfectly directed by Giovanna Trillini on the bench)...

I have to admit that I didn't expect her to reach this level of fencing, after watching her for years in the junior ranks first and then in the early seasons of her senior career...

I'm very happy I made such a mistake...she might not be the brightest talent in the world, but she's the perfect example that the Italian Foil school is the best in the world and can build a champion in any moment...

 

no comment on the (expected) shameful outing of our male epee specialists...it's so sad watching a group of guys that just a couple of years ago was second only to France and now they just can't get beyod the second round of the direct elimination draw...:cry::facepalm::wall:

now I think it's time to change everything in this class of our fencing, before it's too late and they get to watch Tokyo 2020 on TV...

As a german fencing fan you can never expect too little these days ... men's sabre used to be an almost guaranteed medal, Schmidt also completely out of shape and Ebert completely without a chance against one of the italian athletes. I think this time more german athletes will qualify for the olympics (women's foil team and men's sabre team mostly), but at this point the chance for ONE MEDAL is probably below 50 %.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • Though I did just see that today's race isn't valid for FIS points.
    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).
