Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

This is probably the last chance for these guys to win a major medal. they are all 30 or older

 

if Abedini didn't retire earlier we could have a better shot, our 3rd guy is simply not in this level and Pakdaman/Rahbari have to make up for him too. 

 

4th place is already a great result but hopefully they can go one step further this time

This is a beautiful sport!

Painful 43-45 loss for Iran after leading for 8/9, they'll face France for bronze which I doubt is winnable here in sabre.

We ain't dead yet, bitches! (As NearPup said of womens football team)

Somehow, fencing team comes back from its collective deathbed and delivers this. Wohoooooooo!

I`m happy about the medal for Hungary, because it`s one of the most traditional fencing nations in Europe, alongside Italy and France.

Hoping for a gold from the Hungarian, for defend the powerhouse traditions.

well, blowing up 8pts lead mostly against the reserve guy. this will be really hard to swallow. 

 

2021 Tokyo quarterfinal and now this. if I remember correctly we always had problems with this evil Bulgarian ref. never mind, what's done is done

 

 

not sure if they can pull it together for the bronze medal match, which will be another uphill task against the refs. I expect a big loss, it's near impossible to come back from this. looks like another 4th place in fencing and we have to wait another week for a medal.

without emerging nations this sport will be removed off the Olympics

Silver was always the best case scenario in men's sabre so I will take this as a massive win. I doubt that we have any chance against Korea. They are as strong as ever and we struggled against Italy and Iran. I think it will be a one-sided final.
