 Siess throws away the match against  in men's foil, huge upset. Poland is having a bad fencing competition, none of their strongest teams made it into the Top4.

This is how much the world ranking matters in this sport to have a chance for the quota.  only had one more WR point than  in men's foil, and that meant that they got  in the QF here while we got . Obviously a huge difference, for one more WR point. And now the Hungarian men's foil quota chances are close to none as we are getting the kind of opponents we can't beat while Germany will get easier opponents.

 can't fall outside of the WR Top8 even after this defeat, so they are still the favorites for the men's foil European quota. But they definitely made it harder for themselves.

WOW, girls, we have waited sooo long for this in women's epee!!!  upsets  and is in the final!

 

 v  for the gold

It looks like we got unlucky in the women's sabre draw, we will have to beat  in the QF. WR places aside, they are the favorites of that match, not us. It's going to be really hard for us to to keep our high WR place in women's sabre, the team is not looking good.

Two very crucial QF matches coming up tomorrow:  v  and  v  

[Vektor 3,326]

The usual  v  final in men's foil.

 

So far we are the only ones who were able to break through this Italy-France dominance. 

[Vektor 3,326]

So damn close to that gold medal.... 

 

But if the girls can come this far and almost beat all of     , they must find a way to Paris.

Women's epee is a mess after 1 World Cup + Continentals, but the WCh will likely clear things up a lot.

Hungary doesn't look as good as may think. We are still only 9th on the WR, which means that the WCh draw won't be easy for us, an R16 elimination could undo everything the girls achieved today. Poland is still fine, they are high on the WR and will get an easier draw at the WCh.

hong kong should come out of the top 4, and italy in, which would give hungary a place in europe?
