Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

After that injury I wouldn't have guessed that Márton will be in the SF, but here we are. She got lucky with the draw, fenced against lower ranked athletes, and she very much struggled against them, so I am not sure if she has any chance against Velikaya. Still, we have never been this close to win a medal in women's sabre.

3 Egyptian fencers reached quarters and none succeeded to qualify , that's really disappointing 

[Vektor 3,326]

Unless I am mistaken, at the very least one of (or both)  and  will win their first ever medal in fencing at the Summer Games. And this is 's chance to win their first ever fencing gold.

The Russians are just too good in women's sabre.  Two Russians in the women's sabre final for the second time in a row.

I have a feeling Velikaya will not take a third individual silver well

 

Can Pozdniakova repeat her father's success?

[Vektor 3,326]

I don't know what would be more cruel, 3rd silver for Velikaya or 2nd lost bronze match for Brunet. (But I know which one I want to happen. )

[Vektor 3,326]

Well, that's that. I hope that it was because Márton couldn't handle the pressure because other explanation is far worse for our team.

Manon Brunet looked really pleased with that medal.
