With this being the first of two Olympic qualifying events for Milano-Cortina 2026 (second one is next years World Championships in Uijeongbu) here’s the rundown of how many points each country has: 

 

Olympic Points for Men’s/Women’s World Championships: 15, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

 

1. :CAN Canada (15 points)

2. :SUI Switzerland (13 points)

3. :KOR South Korea (11 points)

4. :SWE Sweden (9 points)

5. :DEN Denmark (8 points)

6. :USA United States (7 points)

7. :GBR Great Britain (6 points)

8. :NOR Norway (5 points)

9. :TUR Turkey (4 points)

10. :JPN  Japan (3 points)

11. :EST Estonia (2 points)

12. :NZL New Zealand (1 point)

Is this confirmed as it doesn't tie in with my interpretation of the qualification document.

 

Although Italy is auto qualified as host, I think they still get awarded the qualifying points from the world champs. The qualification document says if Italy don't qualifying in the top eight of the discipline, then they qualify automatically through the allocation of host quotas and only the top 7 from the rankings would qualify - so to me, that implies that Italy should be counted in the ranking. 

 

Ignore me - see you haven't awarded the 10 points

I believe you’re right actually. Might’ve changed since then, but according to prior editions the host-nation was included in the rankings. I’ll edit it.

I think you've got the ranking points right it's just the placings that had me confused.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
