Fencing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

looks like we need to write a fucking MGL or EOR on the back of our shirt to get some calls.

 

that was heartbreaking, really heartbreaking. same as Rio where Abedini lost 15-14 and he also made the same mistake at 14-14. Pakdaman deserved a medal here, both in individual (where he just ran into the best player in the competition early) and team events.

I was very disappointed so I forgot to say this: Montano is a legend. When he stepped in as a substitute I knew that we are in trouble, and the +1 and +2 he achieved for Italy in the middle of the match was really important for them to keep the match close. 

 

@phelpsI am rooting for you in the final, Montano winning this gold at the age of 42 would be a huge achievement, and Italy needs this win after the individual events.

Should be at least a small nice birthday surprise for our very own @phelpsof the forum then, even if his "biggest" dreamed b´day gift with Fede winning medal in the W 200FS sadly did not happen.

 

All in all. Happy Birthday to my Hockey buddy @phelps

we will not publish the number for tactful reasons. :p

When is a bout in the sabre fencing over? Like in epee yesterday, it was 9 bouts of 3 minutes in the team event, here it's 9 bouts with no time being shown, so when does a bout end? :p

Just like in any team event, after one team has 45. There's no time in sabre because it's pointless, it's too fast.

    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.
    • Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.
    • In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
    • Turienzo is developing! She's still away from the level of Nolot, Moroz and Kampman but I expect a good performance at the WCh. Her peak years are still to come (not even 20 yet).
    • in the first night of freestyle finals, Russia won 4 out of 5 golds. they have 2 in the final tomorrow, I think they can reach their pre-tournament goal of winning 6 golds.   but interestingly all 20 medalists of tonight were either from Ex-Soviet countries or Russian mercenaries representing somewhere else   I think it's fair to say men's freestyle wrestling is dead and buried in Europe unfortunately. (I mean the old Europe excluding Ex-Soviets) hopefully the new UWW policy pushes some of these countries to restart their own program instead of just buying mercenaries but that will take time.
    • It was rather a little joke on my part - she never competed on a bike, like Sablikova, but rather combined skating with roller skating. I very like her character- she is very similar to Longo Borghini and unfortunately not every our women`s cyclist has something like that.
