 isn't sweeping this time in women's foil.

 

2 x  +  +  +  so far in the Top8, good day for Central/Eastern Europe in women's foil. 

 

only because we only started 1 girl (and not even one of the best 4 among them).

 

still we might win gold with less than the minimum effort

or maybe not...Cipressa is too much of a loser to keep the team on her own shoulders

Wtf?  I mean, I get it, the individual events mean nothing in the ranking, but going into a very important team event like this seems quite strange.

I will never understand because we continue to give some free trip around the world to Cipressa...

I have no idea why the took this decision.

 

I think I'll never understand what's in this people's mind.

 

by the way, this painful agony is over. Cipressa can fly home with the first plane available.

Well, this really turned out to be the Eastern European Championship in women's foil

Nicely done, Flóra, we need all the success we can get our hand on in women's foil, even if it doesn't count for Paris. First fencing medal already in the bag in an event where we rarely see medals these days.

 

 v  and  v  in the semis. 

 

Pretty much anyone can win this gold thanks to the Italian and French withdrawal.

 Bazadze v  Szatmári in the R16, that's going to be an early elimination for one of them (lol, probably for Szatmári)

@phelps you are not alone,  is skipping ALL the individual events.

 

If I am seeing it right,  only has their top fencers in men's and women's sabre.

 

Big yikes, they doing the opposite of what Áron Szilágyi done (he skipped the "real" ECh in favor of the individual European Games competition). All other top Hungarian fencers are competing both at the real ECh and at the European Games, with the exception of Anna Márton, who's injured.
