I am very pleased with the two individual gold medals, we are doing quite well in the individual events this season. Let's hope that they will use this form to do well in the team events of the World and European championships, which will be extremely important this year.

 

Meanwhile in Budapest... already some big upsets.  defeated  in the Round of 16. And a smaller upset,  won against .

disaster of a weekend for Italy... 

 

yesterday not even a single podium finish in 3 individual events, today a miserable bronze in the women's epee (losing to our arch-rivals, France...it would have been better to win vs France and not get a medal at all ) and this shameful early elimination in the men's sabre...

 

back following the March Madness and Hockey...at least I'm sure I don't make my liver worse than it actually already is...

Yeah, the qualifying window starts on April 2nd if I remember correctly. The first big event should be in Poznan, the first women's foil event that will count for the Olympic ranking, but... I very much doubt that Poland will let that event happen inside their country if Russians are truly allowed to compete. So yeah, you should expect a very messy qualification, who knows what will happen. 

[phelps 6,864]

AFAIK Poznan and Tauber have already been cancelled.

 

however, first we have the Youth Worlds at the beginning of April.

 

Olympic qualifiers will start only after that event.

 vs  is the Gold Medal match in the men's Team Epee in  

[Vektor 3,195]

Man, if only this  event was part of the Olympic qualification.  Still, we needed this gold. We can't fail to qualify in men's epee again, this team is too talented to miss Paris.
