Fiamingo already out in Women's Epee, defeated by Rodriguez Quesada from Cuba in R64. 

 

expected...

she's no longer the woman she used to be...:cry:

but before someone in our team would eventually take notice of that, we must waste at least an entire Olympic qualification...:facepalm::wall:

What happened to her? I didn't follow fencing that closely since the last Olympics, the last time I saw her was when Szász defeated her in the Olympic final.

I don't know...probably she just lost some motivation or simply she's getting old...:mumble:

suddenly, after 2016 she just had a vertical drop in her achievements...

the problem is that nobody in our team will never leave her out because of her past success (and this will hurt badly our team results)...

:FRA Bolade Apithy is already out! :yikes:He lost to a :KAZ fencer who is ranked 89 in the world...

This is not great at all for his chance to qualify for the Olympics...

 

naaa...if at least 3 between ITA, GER, RUS and HUN qualify as a team, he won't have any trouble to make the individual cut (his only serious opponent would be Bazadze, who's not that consistent)...

Yeah if Bazadze is not going to be in top 8 or better here, Apithy should not be that worried. Though I think he would have preferred a much better WCH result...

:BRA Moellhausen! :cheer:

she's in the top 16 after defeating no.9 seed :CHN Zhu...

unfortunately now she has to face :ITA Alberta Santuccio, who unexpectedly beat :USA Courtney Hurley in the round of 32 (actually, bot Hurleys are already out)...

Ndolo once again proves that she is in great shape. I just hope that she stays focus and won't waste this huge chance for winning a medal. I have the feeling that in general epee seems to be the most unpredictable weapon.

Sadly in the men's sabre all german athletes except for Hartung are already out. Now he has to try to save the german honor.

    • Not to the public until end of Wednesday, entry deadline is under 5 hours from now. Gonna see if I can persuade a couple more to join, like our Uruguayan friend who said he would be able to join due to time but now might be able to with the short turn around.

    • What can you expect from a simple woman from Magadan? As long as she was just running around and not talking, it was okay, but since she became an head of the federation in Rus and started talking this nonsense, it turned out that she was empty-headed. On top of that, she's fat as a pig. Disgusting person inside and out.
    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season.
