At least the pre-qualification match will be a formality. But her group is really rough.

 

Was this draw seeded at all? xD

I don't think there was a draw, it looks like a simple serpentine system based on world ranking (whatever it is based on), there are seedings on instagram.

Those seem... like unrealistic expectations, tbh. Not that she isn't a contender, but she's far from a lock.

not my personal take but that's how it was described on a podcast here,her superstar status elsewhere and belief that she's well and away the favorite and i mean current European and world champion,i can certainly get how those feelings exists.

The fencing Olympic champion from 1976 had a big sigh of relief when it saw the cape said “free Afghan women” and not “free Palestine” :P

What's more youthful than young kids protesting?

This is genuinely the dumbest thing I have ever watched

I confess that, just like Golf, I had forgotten about the existence of this "sport" in these Olympics.

Ok... I have to be honest.... I'm really hyped as there's a chance for  to win a gold knowing that Nicka is reining World and European champion...

But if I'm honest and unbiased.. This is hard to watch without cringing lol
