:ITA - :HUN in women's epee final
 

 

waiting for the other zonal champs to define the ranking of course, but with today's results the Olympic table in women's epee should look like:
 

1st half:

:ITA - :EGY

two of :UKR / :USA / :CHN

 

2nd half:
:POL - one of :UKR / :USA / :CHN
:KOR - :FRA

I fear that there will be a draw also in the team events this time around (1-2 vs 7-8 and 3-4 vs 5-6), so not to have mathematical pairings known months before the actual competition :mumble:

no drawing of lots for team events, unless there is a tie in the FIE ranking

And we flopped big time against Hungary in men's foil :facepalm:, so :HUN - :FRA in final and, unless something weird (like the USA flopping at the PanAmericans) happens, the Olympic table should be:

:JPN - :CAN

:FRA - :CHN 

:USA - :EGY

:ITA - :POL

what a shame! :facepalm: :hairpull: :smash: :spank:

I don't like the attitude of the Italian men's team at big events. This is the second such failure after the last World Championships. I don't know what the problem is, but losing to Hungary with this squad is a shame.

last year the problem was the health of Marini (who pulled out a true miracle when he won the individual title with a disintegrated shoulder) and Garozzo being not reliable anymore (probably he was already experiencing the problems that forced him to stop his career earlier this year)

 

Today...well, I think Marini was just having a bad day, maybe he was mentally spent after the individual gold medal (I hope he's not another guy like Vezzali, who often used to have downs in the team competition after winning the individual gold)

 

anywhere else, Bianchi is Bianchi (so, not the biggest talent in the world) and Foconi, who should be the experienced man, the "insurance", just entered the bout when he wasn't supposed to and had a rough start (but still managed to limit the damage, in the end)

 

I wouldn't take this competition for what it's not...it's obvious that all the qualified guys (not only the Italians, of course) are already focused on the Olympics

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people  
    • Have you ever been to Israel? Because you can find historical evidence of many of the "stories"   And btw we are talking about 3000 years before us    
    • What a win, and what a year for this guy!
