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???)...

    • 1. 4.1. Who will win Men's Large Hill Individual World Cup Event (4 Hills Tournament), Oberstdorf, GER, Sun, Dec 29th?   Non-German.   Stefan Kraft AUT has won in Oberstdorf this time.   2. 4.2. How many athletes representing Sweden will be there in the Final of Women's Individual Sprint Free World Cup Event (Tour de Ski), Toblach, ITA, Sat, Dec 28th?   Only one.   Maja Dahlqvist. Noone guessed that.   3. 4.3. How many athletes representing Norway will be there in the Final of Men's Individual Sprint Free World Cup Event (Tour de Ski), Toblach, ITA, Sat, Dec 28th?   Only one here as well.   Johannes Hoesfloet Klaebo. Noone guessed that one, either.   4. 4.4. Will there be an athlete representing Austria in the Top 3 of Women's Slalom World Cup Event, Semmering, AUT, Sun, Dec 29th?   Yes!   Katharina Liensberger AUT was 3rd.   5. 4.5. Which place will Dominik Paris, ITA, take in Men's Downhill World Cup Event, Bormio, ITA, Sat, Dec 28th?   Paris was only 31st.   Turned out we were much too optimistic here.   .........   Those were quite difficult questions. 3 of 5 - noone gave a correct answer. Wintersports are unpredictable LOL  
    • Iˇve seen many weak teams in my life of hockey fan, plenty of weak groups, but this one is truly extreme.   They´re basically still kids, so I won´t criticize or insult them behind my keyboards, but it´s really terribly sad to see that we can produce a fantastic generation one year and the next year a group with absolutely zero hockey IQ, who don´t even master the basic elementary hockey elements like puck control.   Leading by 2 goals 4 minutes to go having a 5 minute major power-play and still not win it, that is something new in the hockey history books. At least I do not remember seeing anything like this in my life
