absolute disaster for  in the men's Foil

 

we're gonna have only 1 fencer in the top 8   

 

Garozzo is...Garozzo  but Foconi is clearly boiled...maybe it would have been better to give Guillaume Bianchi a chance

I would be surprised if the Top4 won't be        

 

At the moment it looks really good for            

 

If there won't be some big upset tomorrow, I would say that there's one open spot left, which either goes to China if Hong Kong is Top4, or more likely one of the other European teams (Ukraine, Switzerland, Israel, Hungary, Estonia are all in it to various degree)

In case you want an estimation, this would be mine for tomorrow in women's epee.

 

WCh placements:

 

1.   2.   3.   4.   5.   6.   7.   8.   9.   10.   11.   12.   13.   14.   15.   16.

 

Which would result in this Olympic ranking after the Worlds + Continentals + 1 World Cup

 

1.   256 pts - World 1

2.   220 pts - World 2

3.   156 pts - World 3

4.   144 pts - World 4

---

5.   140 pts - Europe

6.   135 pts - America

7.   124 pts

8.   120 pts

9.   120 pts - Asia

10.   118 pts

11.   115 pts

12.   108 pts - Africa

13.   101 pts

14.  100 pts

15.   96 pts

16.   68 pts

17.   68 pts

 

 

Obviously it's never this predictable and @phelps might disagree on if this would be the most predictable outcome tomorrow anyway. But you can get an idea where this is going before the last 4 World Cup event.

Basically if Italy loses against Hong Kong tomorrow, @phelps wouldn't be the only one angry. It would be terrible for all the European teams fighting for the quota spots.

First Poland must beat Israel;)

I hope to survive that match, frankly

I cross my fingers for Poland, Korea, Italy and France tomorrow.

 Criscio survived a scare (she looked injured to her left knee at some point) and she's through to the quarterfinals in the women's Sabre

Honestly was pretty average against and especially , I don't even know how they managed to qualify. Tomorrow will be an other day but today wasn't their best showing, and if I was pretty optimistic for their chance to be first, now I'm worried !
