I thought that men's foil is one of the more predictable events. I guess I was wrong. No Europeans in the Top4,  in the final out of nowhere.

Kinda sad that we didn't get a  v  final, would have been one for the ages. Men's foil turning into a table tennis event.

Paris 2024 qualification wise, it's probaly better for us to lose against Italy in the 4-5th playoff...
