Women's epee QFs

 

:KOR v :UKR

:POL v :ISR

:ITA v :HKG

:FRA v :SUI

 

I would be surprised if the Top4 won't be :KOR  :POL  :ITA  :FRA 

 

At the moment it looks really good for :KOR  :POL  :ITA  :FRA  :HKG  :USA  :EGY

 

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. :FRA  2. :KOR  3. :ITA  4. :POL  5. :HKG  6. :UKR  7. :SUI  8. :ISR  9. :CHN  10. :USA  11. :EST  12. :HUN  13. :CAN  14. :JPN  15. :SWE  16. :EGY

 

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

 

1. :FRA  256 pts - World 1

2. :KOR  220 pts - World 2

3. :ITA  156 pts - World 3

4. :HKG  144 pts - World 4

---

5. :POL  140 pts - Europe

6. :USA  135 pts - America

7. :UKR  124 pts

8. :HUN  120 pts

9. :CHN  120 pts - Asia

10. :SUI  118 pts

11. :CAN  115 pts

12. :EGY  108 pts - Africa

13. :EST  101 pts

14. :ISR 100 pts

15. :JPN  96 pts

16. :MAR  68 pts

17. :SWE  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.

Honestly :FRA was pretty average against :KAZ and especially :SWE, I don't even know how they managed to qualify. :d 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 !

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
