@Makedonas

a full Greek affair in the women's final!  

 

that's a premiere in Fencing... 

 

on the other hand, among the men it's always the same story...the Italians just can't beat the Koreans... 

[Makedonas 2,162]

Wow, what a nice surprise! It's a pity Vougiouka retired after Rio 2016, she was only 30. Had she continued until Tokyo, we could've maybe qualified in the team sabre and possibly had a chance at a medal with Vougiouka, Gkountoura and Georgiadou.

 

Unfortunately we don't have a good third fencer in this event, especially since only one can qualify via ranking. In Tokyo it was Gkountoura, which meant that Georgiadou didn't even have the opportunity to compete in the European qualifying tournament 

 

We had Kontochristopoulou qualify for Rio but that was in the foil event (she was 18 then so it was a big deal but now it seems like a big fluke), and now we also have Chaldaiou in the foil event who won bronze at the European Junior Championships last year.

 

On the men's side there is absolutely no one. We had a guy Giakoumatos who was in the 2014 Youth Olympics and won a medal with the mixed team, and Kontochristopoulou's brother also competes at some big competitions but without much success.

 

So yeah, that's basically the story of Greek fencing after 2004 (before 2004 we were completely non-existent so our current situation is actually a massive improvement). We haven't won an Olympic medal since 1896 but we had chances in London (Vougiouka had a big lead in her quarterfinal match and then got injured and lost), Rio and Tokyo. Perhaps we will finally break the curse in Paris?  Gkountoura won bronze at the 2019 World Championships which was the first Greek fencer to ever win a medal at the World Championships so that's another step in the right direction.

109th place for Kontochristopoulou. Kind of crazy to think she was only 18 when she qualified for the Rio Olympics and she seemed so promising for the future but it ended up being just a crazy fluke.

No Russian superstars, but still...

 

Cerioni is back on the driving seat of the Italian Foil...and magically we're back winning...
