Fencing FIE World Championships 2023

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.

The draw for tomorrow is out, this is how the potential Round of 16 looks like...

 

Men's epee

 

:FRA v :NED  ||  :KAZ v :CHN

:JPN v :GER  ||  :KOR v :UKR

:HUN v :ISR  ||  :VEN v :ESP

:ITA v :EGY  ||  :SUI v :CZE

 

Women's foil

 

:ITA v :GBR  ||  :GER v :ESP

:JPN v :AUT  ||  :CAN v :UKR

:FRA v :SGP  ||  :CHN v :KOR

:USA v :HKG  ||  :POL v :HUN 

 

Men's epee is a clusterfuck, I don't want to say anything about it until the first few rounds go down. In women's foil the Germany-Spain and Poland-Hungary matches will be extremely important for the European quota. Egypt will have to beat Colombia in men's epee to secure their quota.

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. 

The 9-16th placement matches are done in women's epee, so I am updating these.

 

WCh placements:

 

1. :FRA  2. :KOR  3. :ITA  4. :POL  5. :HKG  6. :UKR  7. :SUI  8. :ISR

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
