Oh ffs, terrible draw for us in men's sabre, all 3 Hungarians are in the same quarter... 

Same for the Italians

Maybe this is how they want to avoid having multiple athletes from the same nation in the Top4. 

 

Except they didn't do a good enough job on that front because the Koreans have avoided each other.

 Hartung must find this amusing, his road to the SF is through 3 Hungarians, he may have to beat the entire Hungarian sabre team to reach the Top4.

Any idea when will be the draw for Men' foil and epee, both individual?

Same for Chinese women's epee, all in a quarter. It seems solely decided by ranking so I am not sure if there any conspiracy behind.

it might be the best way for us to send an athlete in the semifinals (I mean, if you can can't win against people like Teodosiu, Ferjani, Apithy you just can't be a true medal candidate)...

 

I wouldn't say this is a completely bad draw for us in the men's sabre...

 

on the other hand, the women's epee could have been a bit more favourable...

 

however, I don't trust our girl in the individual events anymore in any case...if something good will come, it will be a nice surprise to me...

Nathalie would probably get an easier opponent if she had a worse ranking. Now she will be out after the first bout

Rahman  was off to surprisingly good start against Lin Y.H.C  only for everyone to realize a technical glitch was giving the Lin’s points to the Singaporean
