If the IOC was willing to accept additional quotas, then they could use a modified version of the PanamSports model. 16 fencers from teams (2 from each), and then 16 individual fencers per event. That would be a reduction of 2 quotas per individual event, but you’d actually end up with more countries competing, and possibly better individual competitions.

The problem is not the number of individuals competing in the individual event. It's a pure total athlete quota issue.

 

What's the point of not allowing an athlete that is already present and counted in the athlete quota from competing? This isn't table tennis where they only allow two singles competitors to try to limit how many medals China wins (a stupid and short-sighted idea, they should really let every team members enter the singles event). Holding an individual event with 34 competitors isn't all that different logistically from holding an individual event with 48 competitors.

 

What fencing really needs is the IOC to give it 36 extra quotas so they can have 8 teams per event and individual events that have 16 dedicated qualifiers rather than 10.

I honestly believe that with this idiotic quota reduction it´s time for team competitions to abandon the program.

 

When you actually see that between 5-8 fencers in each weapon and gender will only be in Tokyo because they´re needed to fill a quota for a team (the one's with continental / host  places in particular), and some very competent individuals being left out because of that ridiculous 8 team "competition", then you should left space for more countries to send their best, respecting the 3 per country for those powerhouses that can actually qualify them.

 

 

The team events in fencing aren't some add-on. It's a core part of how fencers compete from the lowest level to the very top level. Even when I did fencing recreationally we did team tournaments almost as often as we did individual ones.

 

The format at the Olympics is more than fine given the quotas Fencing has available. The calibre of competition at the Olympics in the team events is usually pretty strong, even though obviously some medal contenders are missing.

Right, the team events severely limit participation in Fencing. If the FIE/IOC wanted to increase participation, they’d have to reform how quotas are distributed for teams events, or drop the team eve

Siess without quota, dissapointed after good performance in Doha Grand Prix. There should be available at least two quotas per continent, not just one, its not fair at all...

I don't think that it would be good idea. But as I said it many times before, I HATE IOC of that because they have adding multiple events, new sports and so on, but number of athletes remain unchanged

So not exactly the best for the major sporting event, unless they add some places right?

It would be better with 12 teams. But a lot of summer Olympic events could use more competitors.

I'm of the opinion that all Olympic events should have at least 12 entrants (especially if you are going to give continental quotas). If the quality of the field isn't strong enough to justify this then it shouldn't be in the Olympics.

 

Fencing team events have enough depth to justify 12 entrants.

Your favourites for today's Men's Epee? 24 entrants is quite high number but no wonder for Epee. Seed no. 1 :ESP Perreira, No. 2 :FIN Vuorinen, No. 3 :AUT Mahringer, No. 4 :CZE Jurka, No.5 :DEN Von der Osten.  ..... Means 5 great fencers from Top 50 haven't qualified for the Olympics and there is only one spot. It is going to be an extremely tough competition. For me, hoping that :CZE Jurka will take the spot. With all of his achievements in junior level, he definitely deserves. Wish all the best to him!

You forgot about Zawrotniak (#14) and Freilich (#19). There are 7 fencers in top 50 and only one will win OQ :(

Who lost against Czech Jurka in semifinal... 

 

This big dissapointed which always happen for us the Games already started this time, even 3 months before Olympics. Maybe I bit overreacted for all of these our loses in most of sports but there is no arguments that we can have good Olympics, reaching even 11 medals will be now difficult.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Medal Count

      By copravolley · Posted

      In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.

      Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)

      According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?

      Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved....

      Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport

      In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
