Fencing FIE World Championships 2023

[Vektor 3,326]

Anokhin is making a run for it here to qualify to Paris. If he wins one more match, we might see a Russian fencer in Paris after all.

 in the Top16 at a World Championship!

 

The R16 in men's epee is colorful as it should be.

Two germans in the round of last 16 of women's foil, but no Ebert (who choked again, which dramatically decreased the chance for a german medal).

Don't underestimate Anne Sauer

not to mention that Borel just survived a scare and beat  Vismara in the extra-time in the men's Epee 

Well, on the other hand you just destroyed France in women's foil. We can see 4 Italians in the QFs if Batini wins against Huang. 

[Vektor 3,326]

Wow, that's a disaster for France. They lost everyone in the R16, not a single French fencer in the women's foil Top8. The Italians can potentially win 3 medals.

that's what I expect, nontheless 

 

but I also expect Di Veroli to take a medal in the men's Epee, tbh (and not a bronze )

[phelps 7,664]

actually, I'm impressed with Errigo's very, very good physical & mental shape so far

 

she was really outstanding in last year's gold medal match revenge against  Thibus

[phelps 7,664]

and here we go!  Martina Batini is also through to the quarterfinals 

 

maximum result still possible, 4 girls in the top 8 (and 1 safe in the medal ranking -but also 1 mathematically out of the medals  because of the Volpi vs Batini matchup)

[phelps 7,664]

women's Individual Foil, Quarterfinals

 

Arianna Errigo vs Marina Calugareanu
Martina Favaretto vs Sera Azuma
Alice Volpi vs Martina Batini
Anne Sauer vs Lee Kiefer

Very impressive, congrats to the four of them ! 

I couldn't watch the fights, but yes, seeing our three girls being defeated one after the other is depressing (especially Ysaora Thibus, reigning world champion, but congrats to Arianna Errigo for the win and the revenge from last year !) . 

Let's see if one of our men can win a medal today.
