good news for also in the women and men's Foil World Cup in Cairo among the men, the final act is an all-Italian affair between Tommaso Marini and Edoardo Luperi among the women, instead, it's a replay of the last tournament, with Martina Favaretto facing the Olympic Champion, Lee Kiefer

I hope that's not the case being the top seed in Paris would make a good difference

won bronze __________________________ after Today's results, are mathematically qualified to Paris 2024 might still earn the 4th spot (especially if lose the GMM later Today), but it's highly unlikely however, they still have a 26 point-margin over for the Asian spot have no more chances to make the top 4 of the OQR, but they're safe as the best Panamerican team have a 8-point margin over and a 15-point margin over ( are also not mathematically out yet, but basically their chances are only theoretical) for the European spot, provided keep their place in the Top 4 at the end of the final OQT

no. #1 seed lost to in the round of 16 in the team world cup in Heidenheim! it won't change much, but that's what you get when your best player is totally out of shape (and it's quite some time...it starts to be worrying) and your no.2 player (who's won a bronze medal the day before) is not even on the squad right now we're set for the quarterfinals: vs vs biggest surprise of the day, knocked out in the round of 32 vs (key match, with both teams currently tied at the 4th place in the OQR) vs (another surprising team, they knocked out in the round of 16) *if lose, need to earn a lot of points to close down the distance between them and keep the pace to steal the Asian OQP in the last event, as are going to drop our of the top 4 of the OQR)

Irene Camber, women's Foil Olympic Champion in 1952, dies at the age of 98 https://www.malangpost.net/italian-fencing-legend-irene-camber-passes-away-at-98/

well, indoor 4*400m relays are so slow (and the risk of injury in running indoor track events in general is higher compared to regular outdoor meets) that's actually useless to send teams for any purpose that's not the hunt for a medal individual events might be a bit different, as good points in the WR are always up for grabs and it might worth the effort (and the risk)

Paris 2024 is actually the last competition ever in Modern Pentathlon what comes next is just another sport (? ), they should call it Multiverse Pentathlon

well, here in Italy (right now, you know...) also women's Alpine Skiing has way better TV ratings than men's Swimming also had the same attitude for years thanks to Federica Pellegrini (only Massimiliano Rosolino somehow had and still has a comparable degree of popularity...even Paltrinieri doesn't stand a chance to draw the same attention those 2 had in their prime)

UIPM JOINT COMMITTEES PROPOSE THREE LA28 FENCING PROPOSALS FOR TESTING Single-elimination format set to make Olympic debut in 2028 Volunteering National Federations will test formats from March-May President Schormann salutes ‘innovation and creativity’ of UIPM community The Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) has moved a step closer to finalising the Modern Pentathlon format for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. At the end of their annual joint meeting (February 16-18), UIPM’s Athletes Committee, Coaches Committee and Technical Committee decided to propose three options for the Fencing discipline to the UIPM Executive Board (EB). The Committees based their proposals on the recommendations of the Fencing Working Group appointed in November 2023. All three proposals contain a single-elimination format, meaning pentathletes will compete for the first time in the knockout structure used in many other Olympic sports – preliminary rounds, quarter-finals and semi-finals culminating in a final bout between the last two surviving fencers. The various formats will be tested by several volunteering National Federations in March, April and May. Testing results will be analysed by the EB with a view to presenting any relevant motions to UIPM 2024 Congress. The Fencing format finally selected for LA28 – if approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) – will replace the current two-venue model of a full-scale Ranking Round followed by a Bonus Round with a ladder-style elimination format. UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann said: “After three days of invigorating discussion I am pleased that our three main UIPM committees have come together to agree on an exciting proposal for Fencing at LA28, which we know will be a game-changer for Modern Pentathlon in the Olympic Games." “Once again, we have been challenged to redefine our sport to make sure it remains a compelling part of the world’s greatest sporting event. And our community has responded with innovation and creativity, always keeping in mind the need to adjust to the needs of the IOC and the host city, in this case Los Angeles." “A single-elimination format in Fencing will be another important landmark in the evolution of Modern Pentathlon. UIPM was asked by the IOC President, Dr Thomas Bach, to reduce the cost and complexity of our sport while making it more accessible and more appealing, and this goes beyond the introduction of Obstacle as a new discipline – it applies to the overall competition format. I now look forward to our discussions within the UIPM Executive Board.”
