what the fu*k is happening in the women's sabre? :yikes:

 

top seeds out, Japan with 3 girls in the last 16...the world is going upsidedown...

 

meanwhile in the men's epee we're going to have twice ITA vs FRA in the last 16...it doesn't look promising at all for us today...:(

 

Men's Épée seems to be the most open and the most difficult to predict.

well post Olympic year. Probably this year is not that important for fencers. We will see in 2018 :d

 

Ok, it's post-Olympic year...but I've never seen such a turnaround of established values in Fencing, even in this kind of situation...

 

we're just looking at something new and unusual for this sport (probably it's another sign of the global growth of Fencing, with many new faces ready to upset the well known champions as they take even only a minimum break in their focus and training schedule)...

sure, but ITA vs FRA (especially in the Individual events) has almost always had the same winner in the last few years...

and unfortunately it's not the red, white and green flag...:cry:

True but it's always a classic match-up to watch with 50-50 for both. :yes

irritating performance by Gregorio against Kharlan...she had the bout in her hands and then suddenly stopped attacking and let the Ukranian comeback...

and it's not the first time that she wastes chances this way...

 

meanwhile Vecchi was very lucky...she was almost out against Balzer (FRA), when the French girl had such a bad accident (I think ligaments of her knee are gone)...

 

I think we have to rebuild our women's sabre team as quick as possible (talents are there...we dominated the last few seasons among the juniors...so...what are the coaches waiting for???)...

    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics"
