disaster! disaster! disaster by the Italian Epee girls...:facepalm::wall:

 

after the unexpected win in Cuba a few weeks ago, they immediately threw everything away with a round of 16 loss against :HKG Hong Kong in Barcelona earlier this morning...:hairpull::thumbdown::spank:

Canada must be really happy about this. They will have a pretty great chance to qualify if the US beats Hong Kong.

yeah, but they are basically qualified in any case...there's no way the US girls get thrown out of the top 4...

 

meanwhile this early loss by ITA could make the final event really interesting...we are really lucky that UKR are not even in the top 16 and EST just lost to HUN and they're also out of the top 8...

but now France have a great chance to get back in the fight (and EGY grabbing top 16 points today can put them directly in contention with JPN for the 16th place, which would mean qualification for them and no repechage for the best not yet qualified team -possibly a European team, if KOR eventually make into the top 4 replacing ITA)...

In men's epee we will have to root for Japan against Russia in the QF because I just can't see us beating France for the second consecutive WC event, that just sounds too good to be true.

talking of the women's Team Epee, however, with today's early scores included, :CHN China, :POL Poland, :RUS Russia and :USA USA are already mathematically qualified to the Olympic Games...

 

and even in the worst case scenario, also :ITA Italy can't be catched anymore by any other European Nation (only :KOR Korea winning today and :RUS Russia ending up 6th or worse could deny us the official qualification already at the end of today's event because of KOR keeping a really outside chance to push RUS out of the top 4 and therefore make ITA not the best Euro Team outside the top 4)...

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
