Skipping women foil is a very questionnable decision. That will very likely cost them the Olympic qualification. El Analyzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is: Foil - Yara Elsharkawy can qualify as the top African athlete Sabre – Sawsan Bodiaf (Algeria) will qualify as top African athlete and that will make it easy for Nada Hafez to qualify from zone qualification While Epee, the top athlete would be Alexandra Ndolo (who switched nationality from Germany to Kenya) and the zone qualification is not guaranteed and several athletes from Morocco and Algeria are more favourable, therefore Egypt relies on team qualification I can see their point but feeling sad for other athletes in other weapons as this decision killing their dream. But also would be a very good chance for Germany or Hungary to qualify (or maybe other nation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for Germany it would be a shame if only Leonie Ebert or Anne Sauer could qualify. Unfortunately they are missing a third good fencer which is making team qualification more difficult.

Egyptian fencing federation has announced the team entries for 2023 world championship they have skipped only women Sabre leaving the floor to their african rival Algeria that means women foil team is up for the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it makes the European battle for quotas even harder. El Analyzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly they have high potential to get the spot now.. but not guaranteed though I am expecting they will finish the ranking between 13-18th depending on their performance in the world championship and other World Cup competitions Mecki83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
