against Germany...not sure what I want...

Italian win so they have a minor chance to reach Top4 (instead of Korea/USA) or German win would reduce the distance to overtake Italy...

we must hope for italy top4 and hope that the usa comes out of this top

Women's foil is not that bad actually they barely lost to korea 41-38

 is struggling against  in men's epee

[Vektor 3,326]

And it happened,  wins against  in men's epee! 

 

That can make things difficult for the Asian teams in the qualification.

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

 

WCh placements:

 

1.   2.   3.   4.   5.   6.   7.   8.  

 

Which would result in this Olympic ranking after the Worlds + Continentals + 1 World Cup

 

1.   256 pts - World 1

2.   220 pts - World 2

3.   156 pts - World 3

4.   144 pts - World 4

5.   140 pts - Europe

6.   135 pts - America

7.   124 pts

8.   122 pts

9.   118 pts

10.   114 pts - Asia

11.   113 pts

12.   108 pts - Africa

13.   105 pts

14.  100 pts

15.   98 pts

16.   68 pts

17.   68 pts

The placement matches are done in women's epee with the exception of the final.

 

If  wins against  in the final, this is how the Olympic ranking will look

2.   196 pts - World 2

3.   192 pts - World 3

4.   172 pts - World 4

Meanwhile  wins against  in men's sabre.

 

I think we can take it for granted that  or  will fail to qualify in men's sabre. Germany is in big trouble.

I know it's due to quota limitations, but the team events at the Olympics should be expanded to 12 (obviously the individual spots would expand too). No event in the Olympics should be any smaller than 12 entrants.

Men's epee definitely deserves it, it's waaaay too competitive just to have 8 spots. But there's absolutely no way that IOC gives 72 more athlete quotas to fencing. 284 athlete quotas would make it as big as wrestling with less events.

And  wins against for the 5th place...

[Vektor 3,326]

 wins against  in men's sabre and takes the 5th place. I guess Italy will have one team to worry about during the qualification.
