Disclaimer: my calculations might very well not be exactly correct.

 

The battleground states in the women's nation's ranking after today:

I really wonder, and it's of rather big significance, whether or not Thailand, Australia and Armenia (and South Korea/Lithuania, sure) will send someone to the Engadin World Cup (if allowed, which is another question)...if they don't, that is absolutely Brazil's chance.

Is it safe that Brazil will send their full team to the final World Cup stage? They "just" have to finish a race for getting some points for that list?

Shouldn't Brazil overtake ARM/THA by the end of the interval race already? Just by virtue of having multiple skiers?

 

Athletes who took part in the qualification race only do get ranked, but whether or not they earn NC points might be a different question.

Two questions: 

 

- I guess you don’t have the Male Ranking 

- when does the ranking period end? After this WC season or does it continue next season until let’s say January?

For being too good of course. If you can't beat them, ban them!

I have a soft spot in my heart for trolls, but if you want to jump into a discussion, then at least make sure that you know what it is about. (Please don’t answer me if you can’t be bothered to read the discussion from the start)

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

- That is correct, sorry. It's really a lot of work to make the ranking and keep track of it, I'm afraid I don't have the specific interest for the men which I of course do for the women...

 

- The way I understand it, it's finished after this season, meaning after the last WC race of this season (which should be the one in Engadin in March)

I'm not counting the qualification race, I'm 99% sure it doesn't count for the nation's ranking. It'd be weird if it did, since there is no specific points table for it and using the World Cup one (i.e. maximum points for the win) seems fairly unrealistic and unfair :p 

 

Brazil doesn't have multiple skiers in the interval race or did we all miss something? :d

Pretty sure it counts! ;)

    • 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.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
