From a german perspective: The gold for Heathcock was expected, he is the biggest German talent since Leonie Ebert (who has been very disappointing for the past 2 or 3 years). Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a german perspective: The gold for Heathcock was expected, he is the biggest German talent since Leonie Ebert (who has been very disappointing for the past 2 or 3 years). 1) c'mon! Germany winning medals in women's epee is not that unusual, maybe it doesn't happen as often as in the past, but it's still pretty regular... however, I meant only that there were no new/surprising Nations winning the most medals, except for GBR (not looking at all at how many medals the "usual suspects" -ITA, FRA, RUS, HUN...even GER- won)...it wasn't an accurate analysis wepon by weapon... 2) considering what happened to our youth sports programs (especially in "contact sports") since the beginning of the pandemic, unfortunately that's gonna happen very often in the future... Italian perspective in Fencing has really changed in the last few seasons...right now, we're not even close to the talent factory we used to be... 3) considering the current situation, I'm more surprised they're competing at this event rather than they're not winning that much (and in general, coming the current generation close to an end and without Cerioni and his crew not working anymore for them, I expect Russian Foil -especially the women- to get results not even comparable to their golden era of the last decade)...

Reportedly, other countries'federations had also agreed to not show up if they were to face Russia. And then Russia retired in the middle of the competition, just before the semis.
