It's the classic 1vs64 bracket where the total sum of both opponents' rankings equals 65 in that round. For example, #33 will fight against #32.

So this one time, there is no cheating involved. ;)

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

Two of Iranian girls made it to the main draw in women's sabre. that looks like a no big deal in general (because world champs is usually easier than World Cups in earlier rounds because of max 4 fencers per country rule) but apparently this is the first time ever for Iranian female fencers ! even though I don't trust Iranian media but it's hard to check older results. we used to participate in Olympics in women's foil but that was without qualification.

 

btw looks like no chance for a world medal this year again, Abedini and Pakdaman will run into each other (if they win 1st round) :( and the winner has a long road to the medal with two Koreans, Anstett and Homer in the same bracket. and I wonder why they send only 3 male sabre fencers ! :facepalm: this already ruined their chance in team event. with 3 fencers and one of them is Baher ! once Iran lost the world bronze to Romania back in 2016 only because of him.
