OMG!!!!!

 

I just can't believe the results I see in this women's team epee competition!

 

and once again what a missed chance for Italy to improve their ranking before the OQT starts...losing to Germany...

Am I dreaming?  That's fantastic. Sadly it doesn't Count for the Olympic ranking yet, but at least it should give them enough WRL Points to have a better seeding in the upcoming months.

triple bronze for Italy...not bad, but looking at how things went, some regrets are more than justified...

 

meanwhile, in the men's team epee in Argentina, the top teams are falling like the leaves in Autumn...Korea (no.2), Hungary (no.4) and France (no.3) are already out and didn't make even the top 8...

just another flop and a missed chance for Italy...

 

the Olympic qualification in both men and women's epee will be really tough for us...

[Dunadan 1,103]

Next events will finally count for the Olympic qualification. 

Everyone will start from zero but, just for the sake of it, let's see which teams would qualify with the current ranking: top 4 + best of each continent among those ranked 5th-16th + possible host quotas (max. 8 athletes)

 

 

Men's foil:     +  (5th),  (6th),  (9th),  (14th)

 

Women's foil:     +  (5th),  (7th),  (8th),  (6th) since no African is in top 16

 

Men's epee:     +  (5th),  (7th),  (8th),  (6th) since no African is in top 16 + maybe  as host

 

Women's epee:     +  (5th),  (7th),  (16th),  (6th) since no African is in top 16 + maybe  as host

 

Men's sabre:     +  (5th),  (6th),  (7th),  (14th) + maybe  as host

 

Women's sabre:     +  (5th),  (7th),  (13th),  (6th) since no African is in top 16 + maybe  as host

so, Russia, USA and South Korea are the only Nations in pole position to qualify all 6 teams, with Italy and France stuck at "only" 5 out of possible 6...

 

as I wrote yesterday, I think it will be tough for us to fill all the spots...both epee teams look too inconsistent to get an Olympic Quota place...maybe the men have a bit more chances, but the girls...
