And why she chose to represent Romania? I doubt they paid her like Azerbaijan before. She could had just go back to representing Moldova...

Looking at the entry list…

 

For the men India, Iraq and Malaysia are safe though technically India could miss out should their final lifters finish with 0 and Syria over performs by a bit. Japan needs just 2 out of their final 4 lifters to finish. Despite being ranked in the top seven Philippines and Mongolia have no remaining lifters and will drop off the list (unless some crazy stuff happens). The last three spots will be between Kyrgyzstan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkmenistan. Sri Lanka would need very favourable results to have a chance. According to the entry list Syria is the odd nation out and has the hardest path where all four remaining lifters must finish at their listed rank, but a DNF for Kyrgyzstan in the -94kg or Turkmenistan in the +105kg (or even finishing 2nd out of eligible nations) could let Syria sneak in.

 

For the women India, Philippines, Uzbekistan and Vietnam are safe. Mongolia requires one of their three final lifters to finish where their entry list has them. The final spot will be between Turkmenistan and United Arab Emirates. The entry list has Turkmenistan winning by 1 and the pressure will be on the athlete in -75kg to finish 5th among unqualified nations as UAE can literally have their lifters lift with no weights and they’ll get the same amount of points.

It's interesting that things would be much more straightforward for Turkmenistan if their final lifter competed in +75 instead of -75. They would just have to finish ahead of UAE there, what wouldn't be any kind of a problem according to the entry weights. Meanwhile, in current scenario they need her to finish 5th (or better) and hope that none of the lifters in +75 bombs out. That is also likely but not as assuring.

+75kg group B just finished with the snatch and surprise surprise, one UAE girl is actually 1kg ahead of the girl from Iraq :yikes:

 

Edit: Never mind, the UAE girls are the only ones in +75kg, the rest is acting in 75kg which they combined because of the lack of competitors :d

Turkmenistani girl did what she had to. Now :TKM only needs to hope that none of the relevant lifters in +75 bombs out...

 

Meanwhile, :KSA had a horrible session today in B group of -94 as one of their lifters bombed out... This could be the end of their hopes.

Saudi Arabia should be fine if the other lifter did what he was suppose to do. Though they'll have to hope Syria doesn't overperform too much over the last three events.

Guys, the whole calculations are pointless until they announce the final list of 2015 WC. by my count Japan will finish in top 24 after that, this can change the whole thing in Asian Qualifiers. does anybody calculate the scores without Japan ?

Yeah, Japan is likely qualifier through Worlds, if it even happens. They are running out of time for corrections...

 

There should be a fairly good chance that next best nation from here will qualify if Japan gets promoted, unless two or more nations tie on points or something.

I didn't realize that Saudi Arabia's other lifter didn't do as well as we was listed. This gives both Turkmenistan and Syria a chance to finish above them (along with Japan).

 

Hopefully Syria can pull it off here. They are most likely going to compete only in athletics and swimming if they fail here, what would be sad.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      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.
