as you might notice, there are only 2 Countries (France and Russia) who have been able to qualify for all the 4 Team Events in the Olympic program...

the main surprise and disappointment come from Italy, who failed to qualify in the Women's Team Epee despite they started the OQ Period at the top of the World Ranking...

but when you miss for an entire season to make a top 4 finish, that's what happens...:facepalm::wall:

But the great losers of this qualification period are the Germans, who failed to qualified in all the Team events...and that was totally unexpected...

Another Country not performing as it was supposed it's China, who missed to qualify for the Games 2 Teams, meanwhile it has to be considered a great achievement the first qualification for an Olympic Team Tournament of Mexico and Brazil...

and is it known who qualified in men's sabre?

The Individual spots will be decided after the last qualifying event, starting from the next weekend (with the men's and women's foil in La Habana) up to the end of March (men's and women's sabre in Seoul)...

However, on this Facebook page you can see all the current standings in all the weapons, with just 1 competition left:

By the way, this week is entirely dedicated to the Cadets and Juniors Continental Championships...

In particular, the European Champs 2016 are running in Novi Sad (SRB) until next Wednesday...

Today it was the last day of the Cadets events, meanwhile tomorrow the Junior events are going on stage...

In the Individual competitions among the 17 years young boys Italy dominated the field with 3 of the 6 Gold medals (Women's Cadet Foil: Serena Rossini, Women's Cadet Epee: Federica Isola and Men's Cadet Sabre: Matteo Neri), meanwhile Israel (Men's Cadet Epee: Stanislav Galper), Hungary (Women's Cadet Sabre: Lisa Pusztai) and Russia (Men's Cadet Foil: Kirill Borodachev) won 1 Gold medal each...

In the Team competitions, instead, it was Russia to win the most Gold medals (3: Men's Foil, Men's Sabre and Women's Foil) with Hungary getting to top placings (Women's Sabre and Men's Epee) and Italy only 1 (Women's Epee)...

So, the final medal table of the Cadets competitions looks like this:

Country   Gold Silver Bronze
Russia   4 4 3
Italy   4 4 2
Hungary   3 1 1
Israel   1 1 0
France   0 1 3
Germany   0 1 2
Romania   0 0 3
Poland   0 0 2
Turkey   0 0 1
Austria   0 0 1

I dont think that those results were really surprising from a german perspective. Our only realistic chance to qualify a team was probably mens foil and there we got surprised by the fast improving british team. I dont see us qualifying a team for Tokyo either, except mens sabre. We have some promising talents in womens foil, mens sabre, mens foil, mens epee and womens epee, but we are clearly missing the depth we had about 10 years ago and this wont change for at least one decade.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

well, to me the German recent results are not a surprise at all, but still not to find them in any of the Olympic team event is quite shocking...

however, I think that apart from the Women's Sabre, you have enough talent, depth and above all a good overall sports system in your Country to get back quite soon among the Fencing powerhouses in the next future...

Interesting to see how 2 individual titles have gone to the same guy in both the Cadets and the Juniors classes...

and also nice to see the USA not dominating the field as much as in the past (although they still won the final medal table)...

    • changes that go absolutely against the Italians (notoriously the top swimmers and not the best shooters in MP) 😭😭😭   now it's really time to axe MP from the Games 😈🥳
    • I think there was a feeling before the obstacle course was introduced that really, really solid endurance runners were starting to dominate - in Triathlon you might call it the Alex Yee conundrum. Personally, I don't mind at all if the 'martial' elements are reemphasised as that is the real 'soul' of the sport - Triathlon, Marathon and Road cycing are there for genuine endurace, MP is in some senses a 'soldiery' test - one reason I thought Judo might have been a better addition than the obstacle course. But placing a higher emphasis on the fight bits over the flight bits seems a legitimate idea - though it should also increase the X-country nature of the run so that the test of a fresh shooter at the beginning is rather different from the test of a knackered one at the end. I quite like the artificial hill in rio.
