Went exactly as I feared in the end, and in hindsight probably the only winner there was ever going to be, but another medal!

I think the battle between France and us on the medal table will go to the France but every medal counts in getting to that 50 target. 
 

Bronze. Bronze. Bronze.

Yep - in the end far too strong and what a performance by the Swiss athlete!

good news for our team relay that GTB will be competitive, especially over the relay distance. Not sure how we beat the French though who will have Beaugrand on the last leg

I hadn't even considered that we'd even be in a battle with France on the table anyway. Hosts should always comfortably be in that 3rd spot (assuming its not a major nation like Brazil)

Without trying to be too pessimistic it could be impossible, even considering the sprint distance. The presence of Lombardi as a second French athlete right up there is a killer. It's a shame given how strong we are, but huge medal favourites still of course.

I think you have to hope Yee gets a gap on leg 3 and Beth can maintain that through the swim and maybe enhance it on the bike. Got To put cass under pressure on the bike

Charlotte Fry gets 78.913 in the dressage. Highest score so far, but German riders still to come.

Do these scores count as part of the on going individual comp all the way through like in eventing, or do they get wiped etc and this is just a qualification round for the individual?

Neither did I but I’ve seem various predictions say it was possible but I am very skeptical.

I think all scores get wiped. This is for qualification only.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
