Fencing FIE World Cup 2020 - 2021

Russia got the easier draw in Men's épéé, they got  and  on their path to the SF while we have  and .

 

I have a bad feeling about this. Anything can happen in épéé, but I think Russia is now even more of a favorite to take the European spot. I hope Siklósi will carry the team this time, he's in the individual SF.

There's also a huge issue of Korea potentially eliminating both Hungary and Russia. I would say that we will likely need to reach the SF at the very least, and for that we will have to beat France, who are the Olympic and World champions and they were outside of the Top4 only once at the qualification events (ECh 2019). Yeah, I think we are kinda fucked...

Extremely messy. I am also busy calculating different outcomes for China get Asian quota. Don't forget one likely outcome. Egypt is very likely dropped out of 16. It depends on Spain, Germany and Estonia.

The US is in big trouble against us and that's also bad news for Canada.

but good news for us

[Vektor 3,326]

This couldn't be a better news for France, we defeated the US team and Ukraine is out of the Top8, but this is still far from over.

Thanks Hungary !!!!  Could you do a point simulation?

[Vektor 3,326]

Ukraine is still very much in this, they can have 214 points if they will reach the 9th place at this event. France currently has 205 points minimum if they are 8th. If France finishes in the Top4, they will be ahead of Ukraine no matter what. But I think we will know exactly what France needs to do by the end of the day because the 9-16th matches are today while Top8 matches will be tomorrow.
