Do you have any really talented, up-and-coming youngsters on your national fencing team? Should there be any changes in the coaching staff?

We have a lot of young fencers, Di Veroli, Marini, Favaretto, Torre, Gallo, Isola ( also others but are too young). Apart from women sarbre we have many talented young fencers, but fencing s different from 20  Years ago and its not possibile winning  as in the past. It could happen some tournament where everything turns Well and you win a lot, like  France in these days winning almost all the quartetfinal, semifinal and final matches 15 to 14, or 45 to 44, but this Is not the rule, in the future as in the recent past medal Will go all over the world

Georgiadou continues her incredible improvement, wow! At 31 years old she is having the best season of her career. She never made the top 20 in her career, and now this year she is already number 4 (and that's not including her bronze medal here).

 

Also she becomes the second Greek fencer to win a World Championships medal, after Theodora Gkountoura (who got 5th place here) also did so in the same event at the last World Championships, where she became the first.

 

It's pretty cool to see us doing well in the women's sabre. I just wish the Olympic qualification system was more favourable, but who knows, maybe we can keep improving and qualify in the team event?!

@Andry84 already wrote it all...

I can only add that all the changes must be done in our political/social/school system...that's our hole where we are more and more in troubles to come out from...
