But come on, 'they just can't fence' for a team that's in the top-8 of the world I guess... :p 

 

well, Poland in the second half of that match just made them look like a 10th-tier amateur team...they just joked our girls...

 

I did really feel heavy discomfort watching that match...:facepalm:

so, :RUS Russia and :POL Poland will fight for today's Gold Medal...

 

meanwhile, in the placing matches, :ITA Italy will eventually limit the damage, as they are going to play for the 5th place against the locals from :EST Estonia, which means that both teams now can only earn 2 points over the opponents at the end of the day...

 

therefore, the situation in the Olympic Qualification looks like this:

 

:CHN China have 216 points and will stay at the top of the ranking (they're going to sum up 40 or 36 points, depending on the outcome of the Bronze Medal match vs the USA), even if Russia will close the gap...

:RUS Russia are currently second with 188 points...a win (64 points) would get them very close to the top and considerably widen the margin over Poland, a loss (52 points) in the final against the Poles instead would send them down to 3rd place...

:POL Poland currently have 180 points...a win today would move them up to second in front of the Russians, a loss would leave them in 3rd place, but would still increase their margin over the 4th ranked USA...

:USA USA are currently 4th with 180 points and will remain 4th at the end of today's competition in any case (they will score 40 or 36 points)...

 

still, those 4 teams are surely going to strenghten their position, as they are all ahead of their main rivals...

 

as, written before, :ITA Italy are 5th with 160 points and will remain in that position (they will add 32 or 30 points to their ranking)...they are surely increasing big time their margin over South Korea (starting today's event with 150 pts) and France (starting from 110 pts, but they are both outside the top 8, so no more than 24 points for them) and they will also gain from 2 to 6 points over their direct followers for the European spot, :UKR Ukraine (127 points before today's effort which would eventually give them 28 or 26 points), with :EST Estonia also still in the hunt (starting the day at 116, scoring 32 or 30 today)...

quick update...

 

the placement matches are over, so this is today's final ranking from 5th through 10th place:

 

5th, :EST Estonia (scoring 32 pts)

6th, :ITA Italy (scoring 30 pts)

7th, :GER Germany (scoring 28 pts)

8th, :UKR Ukraine (scoring 26 pts)

9th, :FRA France (scoring 25 pts)

10th, :KOR South Korea (scoring 24 pts)

 

and this is the Olympic Qualification Ranking for the same positions after this weekend:

 

5th, :ITA Italy, 190 pts (currently qualified as top European team)

6th, :KOR South Korea, 174 pts (currently qualified as top Asian team)

7th, :UKR Ukraine, 153 pts (currently qualified thanks to the reallocation, as no African team is within the top 16 of the OQR)

8th, :EST Estonia, 148 pts

9th, :FRA France, 135 pts

10th, :GER Germany, 127 pts

 

finally, today :CAN Canada ended up in 16th place (18 pts), meaning that they go down to 13th place in the OQR (tied with :HUN Hungary, 114 pts)...however, that's still good enough to be the best Panamerican team outside the top 4 of the ranking and therefore they're still in qualifying position...

Olympic champion Romania with virtually no chance to qualify for Tokyo :(

 

I hope Ana-Maria Popescu will qualify individually....it would be her 5th Olympics...

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
