Fencing FIE World Championships 2023

Cuomo just wasted the chance of his life...he lost against Kurbanov, despite the man from  was struggling with cramps and visibly limping on one leg  

 

on the other hand, Di Veroli found the way to turn things around in a very complicated assault against  Francisco Limardo

Kurbanov saw that @phelps didn't have anything to complain about, so he made sure to make things interesting.

 

Joking aside, 4 different nations in the Top4.  continues to impress.

 

 will be dangerous in the team event, I fear

 

have to check the draw, but I really hope it's not on our route in the early rounds once again

I feel like Romain Cannone is such an inconsistant fencer, but one thing is sure, he seems to really like the World Championships and the Olympic Games. 

 

Let's go for the 4th (?)  vs  battle of the day!

Now that you mention it, we got the good draw in women's epee.  v  in the R16 will likely happen and that can be decisive match in the fight for the European quota.

despite being the no.3 seed,  have a much more difficult route to the medal round than  (no.4 seed), who basically have a clean pathway to the semifinals

 

we have to go vs our bete noir  in the quarterfinals and, in case,  in the semis 

 

 

same in the men's Sabre,  vs  in a theoretical QTF and then  (or  but it's unlikely) waiting for the winner in the semis

and it's a sweep!!!

 

triplete! gold, silver and bronze for

 Volpi beat  Kiefer 15-13 and secures the full set of medals for the Host Nation

unfortunately now I have to leave 

 

back later after I watch the rest of the session (delayed)

Now we have two fencers in men's epee who have been in WCh finals. And our third fencer, Andrásfi is also capable of such results. I will combust if we fail to qualify the team in men's epee again.
