what a shame!

 

the saddest end of the championship we could ever think of

 

Garozzo is totally boiled

 

and it's also a brawl between the coaches!  

 

by the way, very unsportsmanlike behaviour by  coaches and also very provocative behaviour by Cheung Ka Long on the last hit  

according to Tommaso Marini, the referee was going to give  a black card at the end of this brawl, but he and his teammates stopped him, saying that there was just a misunderstanding between Cheung and the audience, since the man from  doesn't speak Italian (of course) but also his English is basically inexistent (that's not good, instead) 

 

personally, I think there was no misunderstanding...Cheung made the sign "shut up" to the audience after the winning hit...the consequential whistles and insults were more than deserved (no violent act was made and nothing was thrown by the audience, however...it was just a loud disagreement) and when the  coaches in response went against the Italians a black card would have been a correct punishment

 

but this championship had already gone mad with the Kharlan/Smirnova affair and therefore the disciplinary rules in fencing now don't count anything anymore: everybody feels like he/she's authorized to do whatever they want

don't worry,  and  will be both in the top 4 by the end of the OQP, I don't think  will repeat themselves too often in the next world cup stages, unless they organize all the competitions in the Far East/at home (imho, it's more dangerous  as they have Chung Ka Long on their side)

This situation with Greece should inspire the people in charge to make new qualification rules for fencing. It makes no sense whatsoever that we won't have one of the top fencers in the world in Paris just because Greece doesn't have a good enough third fencer. It's cruel, this isn't judo or wrestling where every NOC only gets one place. 

I agree, it's really such a shame! We have two of the current top 4 in the FIE world rankings in the women's sabre.

I don't think a rule should be changed because of an exception.

 

Having said that I could see a place for a country with 1 individual quota on the rankings trying a 2nd quota on the OQT.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time that a rule was changed because of us, it happened in women's water polo when our girls were 2011 world champions and 2012 European silver medalists but still did not manage to qualify for London 2012. Now, the world champion is always automatically qualified for the Olympics

no, they don't have a 3rd good fencer, unfortunately

 

even with 2 among the best (and even in a "poor" weapon like women's sabre), it's impossible to make the top 8 on regular basis with a 3rd member like Greece's 3rd

It's very unfortunate that Vougiouka retired after Rio 2016, she was only 30 yo which in this sport is not too old. She was ranked in the top 5 in this weapon and with her on the team, I think she would give a big boost to our team, and I'm surprised there wasn't more of a push to bring her back to the sport after Georgiadou didn't get the chance to qualify for Tokyo due to this rule.

it might become even worse...

 

 in 2016 had the no.1 and no.2 in the world ranking in women's epee (Fiamingo and Navarria), but since we missed out on the team qualification, only 1 of the 2 girls could participate to those Games (Fiamingo, who won the silver medal)
