Bad news for Canada, this likely means that the US won't be in the Top4 on the world ranking and will take the American quota.

I think they would never be in any case...

The Hungarian women's epee team throws away their Olympic chances against Ukraine... 

 

What a disaster this day has been for Hungary in fencing. It's not looking good for our teams at all, I am only hopeful about men's sabre and men's epee.

And the disaster is complete. IF they get their shit together and take the 9th place, maybe the girls will still have a chance thanks to the ECh silver. But once again Hungarian fencing is collapsing in the qualification when it matters the most.

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)
