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.

GOLD in fencing!    And for the first time since 1980 Italy doesn't win any fencing gold medals in the individual events...

In a nation of amazing fencers, especially in men's sabre, Szilágyi might be the greatest we have ever had. The Olympics is what truly counts in fencing, and somehow he's just unstoppable here.

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.

      Skeleton Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.

      Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner

      I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?

      I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
