@phelps how many World Cups we have till the end of Olympic qualification (April 2024) ? 
 

speaking of men's Sabre, I see only two more World Cups scheduled, in Italy and Hungary. shouldn't be another one between Feb-Mar-Apr ?

 

(maybe that was supposed to be in Poland and FIE is looking for a new host?)

Quote

It should be 3 more events in each weapon, but FIE's calendar right now has 4 events in women's Team Foil and only 2 in men's Team Sabre left 

 

so, I guess there's a mistake in their list and we actually have 3 events left in all the weapons...I hope they fix that soon (but with FIE never be too optimist, it might take 6 months to understand what they're doing )

@MHSN

 

FIE have fixed that  

 

men's Sabre now actually has 3 more Team competitions in the OQP:  Tbilisi (11/02/2024),  Padua (3/3/2024) and  Budapest (24/3/2024)

 

on the other hand, it's still uclear why also the women's Team Foil has 3 more events in early 2024, when Tomorrow the 3rd OQT is already scheduled (most likely, the tournament in  on April 21st, 2024 won't count towards the Olympic Qualification, but nobody has said/written anything about it)

But it's correct, WF had 2 tournaments in the previous season (Plovdiv and Tbilisi) with 3 to go it feels right to have overall 5 tournaments

no, because it's Tomorrow + 3 more...and since they already have 2, it makes 6

 

however, as I wrote, I think the last one of those 6 won't count towards qualification...we'll see how FIE manages that

meanwhile in  Vancouver, total disaster for the  female epee specialists (all the team members out in the early rounds) 

 

and the men's event doesn't look promising, too (even if Di Veroli survived a big scare in the 1st round and together with Vismara are still in play in the round of 32, but the rest of the team has long gone)

But the last WC will be after the deadline so it will be included only in seeding ranking for OG 

Therefore, we'll have Novi Sad tomorrow, Paris in January and Cairo in February + Plovdiv and Tbilisi
