let's hope media coverage would eventually be at least decent...

 

normally, tournaments in Egypt have a lot of issues in that sense...

One member of Canada's men's foil team tested positive for Covid and id out (Max Van Haaster).

Wow, we have 4 women make the main bracket in the sabre.  I didn't know we had 4 fencers at all, let alone making it out of the qualifying

round 1 of the women's Epee with no real surprises, the only high seeded fencer to leave the competition is  Katherine Holmes, but she lost against Lee Hye In, not the easiest opponent you could get in the opening match...

 Khalil Thompson hit  Luca Curatoli's hand with his sabre in their 1st round match of the men's sabre...

 

scary and painful, but no big damage in the end...

 

the match could continue after a quick break and Curatoli won...

luckily, the streaming is working well so far...

 

but the commentated feed only starts with the round of 32...otherwise, too much work for our friends...

[phelps 7,746]

no.1 seed  Kim Jung Hwan and no.7 seed  Gu Bon Gil are out in round 2 of the men's sabre...

 

they lost respectively against youngsters  Maxime Pianfetti and  Pietro Torre...

 

also no.10 seed  Daryl Homer is already out after losing to almost unknown  Fares Arfa...

 

 

meanwhile, in the women's Epee everything is going according to plan, no.8 seed Alberta Santuccio is the only woman among the top 8 to lose in the first/second round...

 

another prominent name to go out early is  Nathalie Moellhausen, but she's not the fencer she used to be before the pandemic break and she wasn't seeded high this time...

eh, the graphics with the lights at the bottom are ahead of the action by a couple of seconds, by the time it happens you already know the outcome.
