Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024


Recommended Posts

We're just unlucky at these Olympics. Plus the judges don't like us. It's impossible to lose 9 out of 10 last hits at 14-14. I don't understand why they discriminate against European countries in Paris. In fencing, you can see that the USA and Asia rule and every controversial hit at 14-14 goes to their advantage.

Federscherma president Paolo #Azzi is furious after #Macchi's silver medal to LaPresse: 'We are preparing an official protest to the IOC in agreement with President Malagò. Fortunately, President Bach, an Olympic foil champion, saw everything".

For me in fencing, judo, boxing, etc., in 90% of contact cases, the judges have the decisive influence. In foil, every mutual hit can go to 1 or 2 fencers. The same in sabre. Only the epee is legible. That's why I prefer disciplines where judges have less influence on the results.

CONI president (and IOC member) Malagó furious on Italian television. Today they crossed the line honestly

The question is why do they dislike us so much in every discipline where judges have a decisive influence and in Europe at that?

I don't wanna argue with you or any Italian user; in fact, I admire your culture/heritage on multiple layers. Having said that, I've never seen an Italian complaining about the fencing refereeing in the 90's and early 00's, when you had to hit your athletes 10 times to score a point. Laura Badea told me she lost count of how many times she was robbed when competing against Vezzali or Trillini

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

'Cause the referees were used to get gifts from Italian federation; when those gifts stopped coming, this is what usually happens in any area of human activity.

    • despite the finals are still running, it's certain that  win gold & silver and  win bronze in the mixed air pistol competition 
    • it's the configuration of the building: there are a lot of outdoor spaces (more than usual), with the wind gusts going left and right, which is very tricky for the shooters (especially those used to different conditions where the scores are normally higher)
    • Serbia was for some reason DSQed and removed from the fifth place in mixed air pistol event
    • Absolutely, there was at first all-around with 3 disciplines, where lead/boulder specialists were favorites, then it was replaced by Lead+Boulder combined, where lead specialists was favorites because of greater gaps that can be achieved in lead climbing, and now these are separate disciplines where it depends only on what each climber could do best (or who is Janja Garnbret who will win 2 golds)
    • It was always going to be difficult for IOC to get new events in & stick to their 10,500  limit. I wish they could have increased it to 12,000 but they did find a way out by limiting the quota to core sports ONLY. I see that as a very positive & well thought out by both LOC & IOC.    I have mixed feelings on these changes but overall can’t complain much as it could have been worse. The good part:    1. Compound Archery will be a great addition to the programme albeit only in mixed team event. Sadly this means losing quotas from Recurve, which will make the qualification process more challenging.    2. TT events : Getting the doubles event is an excellent call plus we have a team event too . The men’s & women’s team events were so predictable. This 3 format will throw up opportunities & surprises . Most importantly it will add to the viewing experience as matches are expected to be tighter & shorter.    3. Basketball 3x3 is a growing sport & increasing the number of teams is certainly the right call. It was expected.    4. Sport climbing : The programme looks complete now & again on expected lines.   The OK part:    1. Boxing : Keeping the total quota places same & increasing a single weight class in women’s event was expected.    2. Additional swimming events : Considering the hosts for the next two olympics are swimming dominant nations. This was expected.    3. Mixed Golf : This is a good idea & will be an intresting event to watch.   The Bad part:    1. Football : if you are so worried about maintaining the quota limit why not just make both events a 12 team one. I can understand the reduction in men’s but increase the women’s team event.    2. Athletics : This change doesn’t make much sense. Perhaps an additional 🥇 for  . Why would you take away a race walking event only to replace it with another track event.    3. Tennis : I don’t like this idea of mixed team , XD was a better format for me.    4. Gymnastics: A mixed team event  will not add anything to the programme. Perhaps again a lot to do with the LOC than FIG or IOC.         
    • Biden was also known to have shower related problems,your point ? could be an old men thing.
    • Traitor is a nice way to describe him, really the only explanation for his actions (because I'm going to naively believe he is not actually dumb) is that he is a foreign agent and not even really hiding it, at all  
    • Not too familiar with this sport, but do the same athletes compete in boulder and lead?
    • At 6 teams there should be no a rule a minimum 3 continents should be represented 
    • Excellent suggestion & perhaps the most logical one. I think IOC & ICC will approve on a similar format.  I would just tweak it a little bit.  I won’t give a guaranteed host quota but allot 2 quotas in Americas-Africa qualifying tournament.  Also Europe will have 1 fixed quota from their qualifying tournament.  So , it will be    1 - 2016 T20 world champions 2&3 - Asian- Oceania qualifying tournament  4&5 - Americas-Africa qualifying tournament 6- European qualifying tournament
