[Cinnamon Bun 896]

Is there a team event for the foil grand prix in Shangai or not, can't seem to find anything on the website.  

[sharkinator 24]

Team competitions are played only while World Cup (not Grand Prix), so no team event in Shanghai.

[Vektor 3,326]

Men's Epee will be the most chaotic Olympic qualification as usual.

 men's epee are just a bunch of losers...they don't deserve to qualify for the Olympics      

[Vektor 3,326]

 goes into the Top4 against , another huge upset.

 

And we are losing against .... Not the most ideal Olympic qualification for us so far in fencing, to say the least.

and the day goes on with 2 results that are only apparently good for us, as Ingargiola and Batini (especially the 1st one)'s medals are useless in Olympic perspective.

 

the Italian Foil specialists that should win medal after medal are others, who instead failed once again. 

[Vektor 3,326]

Another disappointment for us in the team events. We really need to turn this around at the Euro and the Worlds because so far only men's sabre looks truly good.

 

The men's epee SFs are...

 

 v

 

 v  

[phelps 7,670]

as if there's not enough to be angry of...

 

 lost to  in the women's team epee in Fujairah... 

 

the final is  vs  

 

BMM:  vs

 

5./6. place: vs

 

7./8. place:  vs
