Fencing at the European Games 2023


Recommended Posts

:POL Siess throws away the match against :GER 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. :GER only had one more WR point than :HUN in men's foil, and that meant that they got :POL in the QF here while we got :ITA. 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.

:POL 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.

It looks like we got unlucky in the women's sabre draw, we will have to beat :UKR 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.

 

:FRA v :GER / :POL 

:ESP v :BUL / :TUR

:ITA v :AZE / :ROU

:HUN v :UKR / :GRE 

 

Two very crucial QF matches coming up tomorrow: :ESP v :BUL and :HUN v :UKR

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

 

:FRA 128

:KOR 116

:USA 87

:HKG 80

 

:HUN 76

:ITA 76

:CAN 73

:EGY 72

 

:CHN 70

:POL 68

:UKR 64

:SUI 62

 

 

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?

    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.
    • Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.
    • In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
    • Turienzo is developing! She's still away from the level of Nolot, Moroz and Kampman but I expect a good performance at the WCh. Her peak years are still to come (not even 20 yet).
    • in the first night of freestyle finals, Russia won 4 out of 5 golds. they have 2 in the final tomorrow, I think they can reach their pre-tournament goal of winning 6 golds.   but interestingly all 20 medalists of tonight were either from Ex-Soviet countries or Russian mercenaries representing somewhere else   I think it's fair to say men's freestyle wrestling is dead and buried in Europe unfortunately. (I mean the old Europe excluding Ex-Soviets) hopefully the new UWW policy pushes some of these countries to restart their own program instead of just buying mercenaries but that will take time.
    • It was rather a little joke on my part - she never competed on a bike, like Sablikova, but rather combined skating with roller skating. I very like her character- she is very similar to Longo Borghini and unfortunately not every our women`s cyclist has something like that.
