Mexico is going to have a fencer, at least.

Another sport that we’ll be present @Braulio

Nicholas Zhang wins the men's épée quota

 

Camargo was ahead 14-12 with seven seconds left, but gave up two quick points (which basically never happens in épée). Really miraculous comeback by Zhang.

Another canadian quota in incredible circunstances, i have a "Panamerican shooting tournament" deja vu.

USA with no men's epee representation. Wow

I just learned tonight of the big incidents from last year for the US men's epee team.

I thought that this time no mexican fencer would be at the Games but thanks to Gibran Zea we will have representation.

Ya, that was a whole thing...

Women's epee, pool round is completed.

 

Joining already advanced are

 

 

Chile with a good performance to grab the third seed. Looks like her Pan American Games performance was not a fluke. On the other side, Paraguay despite having a chance to win the quota, just barely made it to the elimination round.

I just rewatched the point and it was totally absurd.

 

Not speaking as a Brazilian, but as someone with a bit of knowledge on fencing.

 

Several mistakes here (Zhang's knee in front of the foot, very poorly executed flèche... and he not only falls during the touch, but his back feet also lands first, so he does not reverse correctly...) 

 

He could even get a 2nd yellow card for that which would give the point to Camargo.

 

I think it is impossible for Zhang to lose its quota, but hopefully FIE would acknowledge the referee mistake, the same way they did with Kharlan at WC last year and guarantee Camargo an extra quota.

tbf it would probably not have made any difference... USA would still be behind Venezuela (by far)  and as Venezuela was not top4 they would not get the quota.

Quite a few upsets in the women's sabre as both the top 2 ranked athletes have lost. The semifinals are:
