interesting results for the men's epee in terms of Olympic qualification...

 

:FRA France are still on top and they will stay on top also at the end of today's event...moreover, they're going to increase their margin over their opponents, as they are already qualified to today's Gold Medal match...

 

:ITA Italy, who are France's opponents in today's Final, are the biggest climbers of the week, jumping from 7th to a sure top 4 place at the end of the day...

 

on the other side, :RUS Russia are the biggest losers, as they are scheduled to play for 13th or 14th place today and they will go down in the ranking from 4th to 7th (but they would still keep a qualifying spot as the best European team outside the top 4, as those teams are all from Europe)...

 

here are the current projected rankings, before today's finals...

 

:FRA France  255/267
:SUI Switzerland  200/202
:UKR Ukraine  187/191

:ITA Italy  188/200
:CHN China  174/176
:KOR South Korea  170/172

:RUS Russia  165/166
:JPN Japan  156/162

:HUN Hungary  140/141
:USA United States  138/139
:KAZ Kazakhstan  127/128
:DEN Denmark  122/123
...
:EGY Egypt  95/96 (still safe in the top 16)

Women's Team Sabre (Orleans, FRA)

 

Final Results

 

Gold: :RUS Russia

Silver: :KOR South Korea

Bronze: :UKR Ukraine

 

Semifinals:

Russia b. Hungary 45-26

South Korea b. Ukraine 45-43

 

Bronze Medal Match:

Ukraine b. Hungary 45-36

 

Gold Medal Match:

Russia b. South Korea 45-41

  

Here is the Full Final Ranking (and Results) from Today's competition:

https://fie.org/competitions/2020/825

 

and here is the updated OQR after today's event...

 

1. :RUS Russia 286 (Q)
2. :KOR South Korea 224 (Q)
3. :FRA France 208 (Q)
4. :ITA Italy 202 (Q)

5. :UKR Ukraine 180 (Q as the best European team outside the top 4 overall)
6. :HUN Hungary 173
7. :CHN China 172 (Q as the best Asian team outside the top 4 overall)
8. :USA United States 171 (Q as the best Panamerican team outside the top 4 overall)

9. :JPN Japan 147
10. :POL Poland 127
11. :ESP Spain 124
12. :GER Germany 120
13. :CAN Canada 117
14. :TUN Tunisia 107 (Q as the best African team outside the top 4 overall)
15. :TUR Turkey 105
16. :AZE Azerbaijan 99
17. :VEN Venezuela 94

 

as Italy are only a bunch of chokers, despite the 29 point-margin they still have over Hungary, there's a good chance we're going to have some dramatic final events for what concerns the European continental spot, with Ukraine and Hungary probably taking over Italy before the end of the race...

 

at that point, our only hope to qualify to the Games is the unsportsmanlike hope that Tunisia drop out of the top 16, which is actually quite possible, as TUR, AZE and VEN, if they are going to start all the remaining competitions, have very good chances to sum up a loto more points than TUN and eventually end up in front of them...

 

we'll see...:mumble:

finally, some projected scores in women's team Foil before the finals are contested...

 

1. :RUS Russia 308/320
2. :ITA Italy 236/248
3. :USA United States 216/220
4. :FRA France 212/216
5. :JPN Japan 182/183
6. :CAN Canada 172/174
7. :KOR South Korea 154/155
8. :POL Poland 138/139
9. :CHN China 136/138
10. :GER Germany 135/137
11. :HUN Hungary 135/137
12. :HKG Hong Kong 120/121
13. :UKR Ukraine 111/112
14. :ESP Spain 107/108
15. :EGY Egypt 76
15. :SGP Singapore 76
17. :TPE Chinese Taipei 74/75
18. :AUT Austria 73
19. :BRA Brazil 72
xx. :ROU Romania 57/58

 

not much to say in this case...the only big question is: "will at the end of race Egypt still be among the top 16?"...

 

my guess is "no", which means that probably we're going to see 1 more good team (KOR rather than another European one) among the Olympic participants instead of the very weak Egyptians...

as written before, the real fight is Egypt's to stay within the top 16, which imho is unlikely...with 3 WC stages still to go, should they participate, all the 5 more dangerous followers could easily make up the current deficit from the African champions...

 

meanwhile the battle for the European Continental spot is really hottin'up: POL, GER and HUN are really close and 2 of them would eventually have to watch the Games on TV (even if Egypt fail to qualify and open the race for a reallocation spot, KOR are heavily favourite to grab it, I don't see the European teams taking over the Koreans)...

    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time. I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
