Well, Dombrovski single-handedly destroyed all of our relay chances, because we were never in contact with 23rd place the entire race after his penalty loop. It's unbelievable, how he can go 0+0+0+0 in individual races, but more often than not, he always shoots horribly in relay races :d Lastly, our team was plagued with illnesses over the holidays, so nothing is going according to plan.

 I'm just just glad to see a nation with half the population size of my country can start a relay team in the WC. 

Oh well, maybe one day we will see a Danish relay team in the WC. (First we have to convince a bunch of Norwegians and Swedes to switch nationality. Then we might have a chance.)

Problem is, we are capable of being top 15, but we never manage to show up. Even if three guys are healthy and ready to fight, there will always be one doing penalty loops :(

Power of Poliakova. I don't understand why they don't put her first, surely, that would limit the damage she's so capable of inflicting.

 

I can see Poliakova retiring very soon. She hasn't posted anything after that public apology and now her Insta account has gone private. I seriously doubt she can handle all that online hate anymore.

And you can bet those morons are going all-out again today.

Nastya is really finding one hell of shape lately. Remember the only title she is still missing is a WCh gold, all her preparations for this (very likely) last season was aimed only and only for the world champion title.

 

back to back 6th places in relays is very good for us, now Let´s hope for some better luck at the World Champs for our relay (Maybe this will be our last relay in the upcoming years) I still think there a room maybe also for a podium

 

+ France today :bowdown::toast:

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
