@phelps Who makes the call on this event, the EFC or FIE? Because EFC is very clearly against Russian participation and they are in a direct conflict with FIE on this. I have seen rumors that FIE wants to move this event to Budapest where Russians would be allowed to participate, but the European Federation would be very much against this.

afaik, it should be EFC.

but the EGs have always been a Eastern European (and Russian in particular) garden, so I wouldn't take it for granted.

I don't call even some kind of dispute off.

I’d imagine any decision would likely need to be okayed by the EOC and local organizers as well (if the FIE would like to remain a part of the European Games).

Would it be the a lot of the European games that need moving. Not just Fencinf that might be letting the Russians back.

waiting for the Italian Government to announce that  and  won't be allowed to enter  Territory for the World Champs in 2 months time  

 

curious to see how FIE's gonna manage that.

Okay, this is getting real. It's time for the European federations to stand up and fight because this is beyond ridiculous. FIE is killing fencing.

Doesn't this mean that the FIE are going to be actively discriminating against European athletes? Unless the ranking points are going to be taken from the other continental events then how is there a level playing field for all athletes looking to secure qualification to Paris?

 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.
