Fencing at the European Games 2023

Passive timer malfunction in the middle of the men's epee final... 

[Vektor 3,326]

Okay, this getting ridiculous, what's happening?

 

@phelps Do the Italians have any info on what's going on?

Now there's a rumor that France is protesting their SF against Switzerland for some reason, but that makes no sense, they already had a bronze medal match. And why the fuck would the final be halted because of a protest? What?

Holy shit, it's true, they paused the final for 15-20 minutes because of a protest. What the fuck...

[Vektor 3,326]

I have no idea what that protest was or if the French can somehow still do something, but if not... FINALLY GOLD for !

 

Boys, please don't fuck up the qualification. This Hungarian men's epee team has such a big potential, they have to be in Paris.

1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze and two 4th places for Hungary in the team events. I think we couldn't have asked for more. Thankfully I turned out to be way too pessimistic. Now let's do something similar at the Worlds.

no idea, but I saw the refs going to adjust the time on the scoreboard many times also during both SFs and the BMM between  and  

 

but given the level of the organization of these games, nothing surprises me anymore

 win easily the Gold medal in women's sabre.

 

 lucky to get today's silver.

 

this is women's sabre OQR after 1 World Cup stage and the Continental champs:

 

1 116
2 94
3 89
3 89
5 88
6 78
7 72
7 72
9 68
10 64
11 60
12 59
13 58
14 56
15 52
16 49
17 45
18 44
19 41
 

I assume that  will easily qualify at the end of the OQP.

 

 and  seem to be the favourites in the fight for the 4th spot in the top 4 overall and if both are capable to do it, the fight between  and  will suddenly become brutally important for the European repechage spot (even if I think that  would eventually comeback close to  and  rather then being stuck in the fight with ).
