What's her story? Would you care to explain, please?

 

well, she was born in Milan (ITA) in 1985...

 

her dad was the son of the at the time German General Consul in Italy, meanwhile her mom is the fashion designer Valeria Ferlini (Brazilian with clear Italian heritage)...

 

as both her parents were living and working in Milan, she grew up in Italy and she used to be one of our best specialists...

 

with our team she won 1 Gold (team) and 2 Bronze (1 individual and 1 team) medals at the world champs and the same did at the European champs (1 Gold and 1 Silver medal with the team, 1 individual bronze) between 2005 and 2012...

 

after the London Games, she decided to stop her fencing career, but then the Brazilian federation convinced her to come back with their team, as the Rio Olympics were approaching (and since she wasn't anymore in our team, she happily accepted to represent her mom's Country)...

 

with Brazil she immediately won the Pan-American champs in 2015, then she made the quarterfinals at the Rio Games and now it's the apotheosis of her career...

 

currently (since quite a few years) she lives and trains in Paris with the great French maestro Le Vavasseur (the man on the bench behind her in the final assault earlier today)...

 

on a personal side, she's a very lively girl and an artist (just look at her personal website and instagram)...

 

to be noticed, I heard from Youtube's broadcaster that she recently lost her father...so, the emotional scenes after her win are explained (when she took off her glove, I think she was kissing the name of her dad tattoed on her wrist)...

finally, just a few stats...

 

only on day 1, we already have 8 Nations coming from 3 different Continents in the medal table...

 

in the men's Sabre we had 8 men from 8 different Countries in the quarterfinals and in the women's Epee 8 girls from 7 different Countries at the same stage...

 

in both competitions, the no. 1 seed couldn't even make the podium...

 

this shows how the sport of Fencing has grown in the last few years...now we can really say it's a true global discipline and one of the most widely spread all around the world (at least for what concerns the top level of play)...

 

the time when it was the home garden of the usual 4/5 powerhouses has long gone...

What countries could be added in the remaining events? USA, France, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Romania, some other european country and that's it? Maybe we will see a weird medal in men's epee. 

 

Good for Hong Kong but I don't know if this Brazil medal can be atributed to a global expansion, her fencing career has basically nothing to do with Brazil.

2 Bronze ? but in the thread of prediction we had to predict only 1

 

isn't the new rule of fencing ; the loosers of semi fight for the Bronze

 

That's not a new rule. Fencing always had two bronze medalists outside the Olympics in the individual events.

    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either. 
    • Oh dear oh dear.  Going to be ructions with this one.  Established international diver Sofia Lyskun wants to transfer from..... to !     Somehow I think the three year rule will be enforced.   Sofiia Lyskun: Ukrainian federation 'expresses deep indignation' after champion diver switches to Russia - BBC Sport
    • Tennis update: Kamilla Rakhimova has switched to  (her mother is Uzbek).   More shocking is Anastasia Potapova switching to
