I'm surprise Batini didn't play any part today considering yesterday's performance. Is Italy's trio already decided?

 

yes, I think that at 99.9% the 3 starters for Italy in women's Foil are Volpi, Errigo and Di Francisca, with Batini fighting for the reserve spot in the team event...

 

in any case, normally, at any world cup stage we don't use the individual event as a selection for the team competition of the following day...this thing is always decided before the start of the tournament...

a lot of turnarounds here...

 

while Russia, despite an awful outing today, keep their lead in the ranking with some margin, France consolidate their score and overtake Korea in second place...

 

the Asians, however, are still 3rd with quite a few points margin over the following European pack including Italy, Hungary (still to be seen who's going to be 4th and who's going to be 5th at the end of the day, depending on the outcome of the final matches) and Ukraine, who are going to get a lot closer to the qualification line...

 

the fight for the last ranking spot and the European continental place will be very entertaining (for neutral spectators...heartbreaking for the 3 teams involved and their fans)...

 

considering the current trend, however, Italy are the main candidate to end the campaign on the wrong side (unless a miracle happens in the lower part of the ranking and someone are capable of a great comeback and pushes Tunisia out of the top 16, which is highly unlikely...especially after today's event)...

 

the USA are also not completely out of the top 4, but it's more a theoretical chance than a true target for them...however they keep steadily the qualification spot through the continental ranking, as Canada are definitely too far away to be a serious threat...

 

finally, as written above, Tunisia, despite losing 1 or 2 positions in the OQR are still well safe among the top 16 of the OQR, which is what they need to qualify to the Tokyo Games...

 

 

EDIT: updated after the end of the tournament...

This weekend went incredibly well for us. If only this was the end of the qualification and we would have 3 teams qualifying.

17. 106/107
18. 102/103

 

France are locked in first place, no matter what happens later today...

 

Switzerland keep their second place and Italy improve by 1 position in the ranking, climbing up to the 3rd provisional rank...

 

Ukraine, despite a down day, are still 4th...and they even increase their margin over 5th place, as South Korea had a real nightmare of a day and scored only 8 points (17th place today), falling down to 9th in the OQR...

 

the 5th place now is up for grabs, with China and Hungary fighting for it, depending on the outcome of today's finals (Hungary are definitely today's gran winners, reaching the gold medal match and closing down on the top 4 positions of the OQR)...

 

Russia could still be either 6th or 7th at the end of the day...but it looks that they are fading in the last exits and they are likely going to lose also their virtual qualifying spot in the European Continental race...

 

Japan are 8th and lost some points to China for the Asian Continental spot, Korea, as written above, now are down to 9th and it seems that they have almost definitively compromised their chances to earn a team spot at the next Olympic Games...

 

USA and Egypt today weren't that impressive, but with their average placing still managed to lock their position within the top 16 of the OQR, therefore they are closer to the qualification to the Olympics through their respective Continental spot...

Does the qualification final ranking define the bracket of the Olympic tournament ?
