Two medals for Ukraine and Ilieva didn't make a podium, seems like a dream for me

What's wrong with Ilieva?

Some delusional Bulgarian fans told me that she would EASILY beat Kharlan at the scandalous WCh-2023 and still secure a medal, when in fact Kharlan beated her at the European Games, so after that funnily enough Yoana flopped every single big start, so I guess karma is real and I'm petty

This is a poor World Championships for us. Lots of quarter-final losses, especially in épée. So far, only four medals, and I fear we'll end up with only five. This is the worst World Championships for us in a long time (maybe in all XXI century?). There are too many losses in key matches and in the final strokes. It was the same at the Olympics and this seems to be a deeper problem.

Even Polish media didn't really blow the fuse too hard over Cieślar losing the final to lieutenant Egorian. It's still a very unexpected individual medal in a sport we've struggled recently compared to historical times (and we basically only count our chances in team events).

A lot of upsets in men's sabre so far...semifinals are Japan-Italy and Hungary-Romania.

What a horrible fencing from Italian team, Favaretto, Errigo and Volpi were dead against Ukraine but managed to go with Cristino's help, and now Cristino can't do nothing good against France and it's GG. I've never seen more stupid fencing from then than this two matches :wall: , but congrats to France, even without Ysaora and with Anita in not peak form they managed to go to final
