Faramir 167 Posted June 20 #32 Share Posted June 20 2 minutes ago, copravolley said: For me it's simply bad. There is no chance for a medal in the men's individual epee: our leader- de Veroli took only one 3rd place in this season. In addition, he will not be seeded in Paris 99%. All that remains is to hope for a medal in the team. The women's saber still has the same problem - missing of individuality for many years. The only thing we can afford is some bronze at the minor European Championships in the Olympic year or post Olympic year and now even that hasn't happened (in theory our athlete with the greatest potential for an individual result - Rosella Gregorio, will not even go to the Olympic Games...). In fact, with such weak material, the team's advancement to the Olympics is a small miracle. Of course, we can't dream about any medals there. Unfortunately, over the last 10-15 years we have not been able to overcome mediocrity when other countries have stars: Ukraine, France, Japan, USA, Hungary and now even Greece and Spain. With the missing of a leader like Kharlan, we can't count on the team winning any medals at a big event indidiwdual and also in the team. The world has moved forward and we stand still in this weapon. Let's be honest, if it weren't absence for Russia, our girls would have watched the games on TV. nah, a medal at the Olympics is easier to win. Difficult but still possible in women's sabre. And in men's epee 75% of the field can win it, seeding is not that important as in other weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have one. And I'm surprised that Greece or Spain have greater individualities than us... Our women's saber team can be compared to Ukraine, only they have Kharlan at the end and we have Criscio, Gregorio or Battiston - average fencers without much talent. Our last saber fencer with the potential for something bigger was probably Ilaria Bianco from 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
