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.

What a disappointing results for Italy in male saber, 0 in top 8 :facepalm:

 

it was expected...

our guys have been very inconsistent throughout the entire season...

moreover, at the moment we just can't play against the Koreans...the only man who had a chance was Berrè, but he lost an apparently close match against Szatmari (who's a good fencer...you can always lose against him and it's not a shame for sure)...

and, sad to be said, Montano is a former athlete...he shouldn't be anymore part of our team, but you know, in Italy is always very difficult, if not impossible, to keep a decorated veteran out unless he calls himself out...

finally, I'm very surprised by Ferjani's result...congrats to him...and let's hope not to see too many Koreans on the podium...

 

in the women's epee, instead, at least Navarria got into the top 8...let's see if she can deliver when it really matters once in her career...surprisingly, no Russians in the top 8...

and I expected Fiamingo to go out against Branza-Popescu, but not with that infamous score...:facepalm:

I really don't now what is going on with Fiamingo. She was one of the best (maybe even the best) epee fencer in the world and now this.

Looking at the T8, a final between Navarria and Popescu would be the logical thing to expect

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

I always fear the Estonians...for Navarria, beating Lehis wn't be so easy...our girls always fence badly against the Baltic women...

however, I hope this timew Navarria can finally reach the final of a major championship...she deserves it...

I think she did burn out mentally...

I don't think she has big technical issues (and I'm sure she's not injured)...

 

How the f*ck does Emese Szasz never burn out and we see her, with the slow/boring style, competing every year?

by the way, the streaming is a joke...it's half an hour behind the real time...if you go to the blue piste right now, they're stull waiting to show the round of 16 in the men's sabre (which is way over...there's even the clock on the pictures, indicating 16.15 local time, meanwhile now it's 16.45, 10.45 here in Central Europe)...:yikes::facepalm::wall:

I hate those fuc*in' events held in China...how much I hate them...:redcard::redcard::redcard:

I got to see Popescu's bout in T16 20 minutes after it was actually over :d

not all the people have the same character and/or mental strenght...here in Italy we are full of athletes who had an unbelievably long career always on top (look at Vezzali, just to name a fencer)...but Fiamingo isn't one of those, unfortunately for us...

however, I still hope for her to get back to her glory days...she's still quite young, especially for a weapon like epee...maybe she's just recharging her batteries before the Tokyo Games...

      This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints.

      Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains.

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
