Really miraculous comeback by Zhang. Another canadian quota in incredible circunstances, i have a "Panamerican shooting tournament" deja vu.

JoshMartini007 2,229 Posted April 7 #46 Share Posted April 7 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. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA would still be behind Venezuela (by far) and as Venezuela was not top4 they would not get the quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
