p.s. the next men's Sabre world cup stage (originally to be held in Padua, ITA from March 6th through March 8th) has been officially cancelled (actually, postponed to undefined date...however, surely it won't be held before the end of the OQP anymore) because of Coronavirus, which is spreading very quickly in that area of North-East Italy...

What does this mean for the qualification? Every World Cup result will count instead of the 4 best out of 5?

I assumed our federation is not aware of that. 3 of our fencers stayed in Poland to travel to Italy later just to participate in that World Cup. the way the virus is spreading so fast and Iranians (or those who traveled to Iran) are discovered being sick in different countries , there is fear that other countries may put a blanket ban on Iranian citizens. they are not sure if they can come back to Europe again if they come home

the decision was taken only yesterday...it's quite normal that nobody is aware of that, yet...

no, idea...

 

I'd rather wait for an official statement from FIE...hoping that they decide quickly what they want to do...

 

If I were them, I'd simply add the next event to the original OQP...it's only a question of going a couple of weeks outside the original schedule and it wouldn't affect in any form the Olympic preparation of the teams involved, meanwhile cutting the number of useful tournaments could prove unfair for the teams right on the edge of making it through or not...

 

but I'm not FIE...

2 points away from Tokyo, one place higher for us or one place lower for Hungary... Once again we lost a quota by small margin/in last moment, this is terrible

by the way, tournaments cancelled or not, South Korea are actually already mathematically qualified in any case, not only "virtually"...

 

and if Padua's tournament is not somehow replaced, also Hungary are already mathematically in...
