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... 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)...

Wumo 2,856 Posted July 18, 2019 #34 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Bolade Apithy is already out! He lost to a fencer who is ranked 89 in the world... This is not great at all for his chance to qualify for the Olympics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

phelps 7,437 Posted July 18, 2019 Author #37 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Moellhausen! she's in the top 16 after defeating no.9 seed Zhu... unfortunately now she has to face Alberta Santuccio, who unexpectedly beat Courtney Hurley in the round of 32 (actually, bot Hurleys are already out)...

Vektor 3,197 Posted July 18, 2019 #38 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) All the higher ranked fencers lost on the red piste including Navarria. Edit: And Kinga Nagy defeated world rank #4 Choi! Edited July 18, 2019 by Vektor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,197 Posted July 18, 2019 #39 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Well, that's probably the biggest negative upset we will get at this WCh... Szilágyi out in R32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 791 Posted July 18, 2019 #40 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) 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.
