There it is, this time Park couldn't pull it off against a Hungarian, another SF and another medal chance for us. Siklósi v Santarelli for the final, just like at the 2019 WCh where Siklósi won easily. 

Really makes me wonder how Hungary is so strong in fencing. Germany used to be great, but now they have been trash for at least a decade. Any insights on how to become world class in fencing?

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

I don't know, maybe it's just tradition, it feels like we must win at least one gold at every SOG, otherwise we fail to live up to our legends in the sport. It's like water polo. There aren't many nations who view sports like fencing and water polo as their most valued disciplines that they must keep alive no matter what. Fencing can never be as high on the German "Olympic priority list" as on the Hungarian one, Germany obviously has many other sports that they value more.

Siklósi once again with the clutch in the final period, this is the third match in the row where he just becomes unstoppable during the last minutes. We have our second fencing medal, Siklósi kinda saves the day after multiple missed medal chances.

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health. 
    • Marian Kasprzyk (boxing) - 1964 Olympic Champion & 1960 bronze medallist passed away at the age of 86.
    • It was removed the next day.
    • Someone made this Statue Trump---Epstein     mysterious bronze statue called “Best Friends Forever” has popped up on the east end of the National Mall in Washington, DC,    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-epstein-statue-dc-national-mall.html    
    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
    • another wave of mega rain is coming in north Africa 
    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
