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

Georgiadou and Gkountoura gave a long interview after this and they both said the Olympic qualification system is unfair how only one athlete per country can make it if they don't have a team, and that their goal is to qualify for Paris as a team but it will be very hard to find 1-2 more athletes.

 

However they kept repeating this so I wonder if they are in talks with Vougiouka to make a comeback. She will be 38 in Paris, but Velikaya and Zagunis are both 36 and still in the top 10 at the moment. That would be really special if they could make it happen although Vougiouka has been retired for 5 years now so who knows what physical condition she will be in even in the unlikely event that she does come back.

 

The girls also said that they were cheering for each other every round, and when they found out they were facing each other in the final they were celebrating together and hugging together while everyone else was looking at them strangely. They said they didn't care who won in the final (which is probably a lie, lol) and that afterwards they went out to dinner to celebrate together. They said fencers from big powers like Russia, USA, Italy, France won't understand how special it was for them to both make the final and that they hope it gives them more sponsors because they went to Orleans with their own money. They said it's hard to make it without support and that there were other talented fencers in Greece who stopped at 18 to go to university and try to have a normal/stable life and make a career.

only negative point...we can't handle Cheung yet, but Cerioni back where he belongs has already changed our perspective after Tokyo's epic fail...
