Fencing - Qualification for Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Women’s Sabre after Moscow GP
By David Baker
Likewise, Women’s Sabre had its second Grand Prix in the first part of the qualification season.
No Russian qualification team (as it currently stands) means that Moscow champion Sofia Velikaya (RUS) takes the first place – although I suspect the Russian team to be back in the places by the end of the season.
A second Grand Prix bronze medal of the qualification season for Liza Pusztai (HUN) gives her an early lead for the second European place. There is a large field of potential qualifiers below, but they will need European teams doing better if they want to have a chance.
Three Asian teams in the qualification places really does open up the places. Aigerim Sarybai (KAZ) moved ahead with a good top-64 finish. The second Asian place is currently held by Bhavani Devi (IND) who wasn’t able to win her first direct elimination match.
Marissa Ponich - Fencer (CAN) remains the best ranked PanAm fencer outside the USA fencers and improved her points total with a top-96 finish. Closest rival Belén Pérez Maurice (ARG) was not able to close the gap, also finishing in the top-96.
Also in the top-96 was Nada Hafez (EGY). Azza Besbes (TUN) hasn’t had the brightest start to the season so far, but will have the chance to earn some serious points at the Zonal Championships.
That’s it for the first part of the qualification season for all the weapons. Next stop Zonal and World Championships.
Fencing - Qualification for Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Men’s Sabre after Moscow GP
By David Baker
Unusually, Sabre has two Grand Prix in the first part of the qualification season – Foil and Epee only have the one. This is good news for us, giving us a good look at who our individual representatives in Tokyo are likely to be.
Bronze medallist Max Hartung (GER) continued his golden streak and tops our qualification ranking with three medals in three events. Unless Germany can qualify as a team he will be the only German in Tokyo in Men’s Sabre.
Sandro Bazadze (GEO) consolidated his place as the second European with a strong top-8 finish in Moscow. He’s put some distance between the next best European, Dolniceanu Tiberiu (ROU).
Xu Yingming (CHN) has made the most of the two GP’s – with top-16 finishes at both Seoul and Moscow he is easily the best Asian fencer outside the Koreans and the Iranians.
The second Asian place is more competitive: top-96 finisher Vu Than An (VIE) holds a 0.75 point lead over compatriot
Nguyen Xuan Loi (VIE) who made the top-32. Low Ho Tin (HKG) is only a further 0.25 points back with a top-64 finish in Moscow, and Kento Yoshida (JPN) and Kenta Tokunan (JPN) are only a couple of points away as well – it’s all to play for.
Shaul Gordon (CAN) improved his points total with a top-64 finish, but now has some competition, as compatriot and 2016 Olympian Joseph Polossifakis (CAN) surged up the rankings with a top-32 finish.
Another good result for Ferjani Fares (TUN) - he’s on track for the African zonal place.
That’s it for the first part of the qualification season in Men’s Sabre. Next stop Zonal and World Championships.
In preparation for this weekend's events, have a listen to the latest from The Fencing Podcast and then listen to them commentate in Paris!! Whoop Whoop!
Sean and Gav are back to Seniors action as the hectic season continues and Olympic qualification begins. Gav has a moment of revelation while watching the women's epee from Cali, Sean enjoys an oldies get-together in St Petersburg, Gav considers some unpleasant options for funding a trip to the Toky

Men's sabre individual Olympic standings after Madrid.
Men’s Sabre Individual after Madrid
by David Baker
So now that we’re up and running with the team places, lets see who the front-runners are for the remaining 7 individual places from the adjusted ranking.
World number 3 Max Hartung (GER) consolidated his place with a top-class win in Madrid. Max has opened up a gap between his German teammates, remember only one is able to qualify unless their team ranking improves.
The second European place is now held by Sandro Bazadze (GEO) following a strong top-16 result. Only one point behind is Tiberiu Dolniceanu (ROU) who finished in the top-32. Andriy Yagodka (UKR) is three points behind after a last-64 finish.
Ferjani Fares (TUN) couldn’t get past the top-64, but is still the strongest African fencer by some distance, especially with Egypt inside the top-16 in the team rankings. Likewise, a superb top-16 finish by Shaul Gordon (CAN) has opened up a large lead ahead of PanAm rivals.
Xu Yingming (CHN) didn’t make the 2nd day in Madrid, but his strong result in the Seoul GP at the start of the season keeps him in for the first Asian place. The Vietnamese team weren’t in Madrid, but the six points earned by Vu Thanh An (VIE) at the Seoul GP is enough to keep him in the qualification places. Kenta Tokunan (JPN) is chasing hard with a top-64 result in Madrid.
That's it for now on Men's Sabre - the next competition is the Grand Prix in Moscow in two weeks.
And here's how the men's sabre teams lie after Madrid.
Men’s Sabre Teams after Madrid
by David Baker
Sabre had their first set of Team World Cups this weekend, we’ll start with the Men’s competition in Madrid.
Italy took first place, but had to survive a scare from Great Britain in the last-16, only winning 45-42. Consecutive wins over European rivals France, Hungary, and then Russia in the final has given Italy a great start to the season.
Korea took the bronze medal, which starts them in the top-4 in the world, and allows another Asian team to qualify. Iran currently takes that place, finishing strongly in 5th after losing to Russia in the last-8.
As it stands, France takes the European place by virtue of beating Germany in the 5-8 tableau following their loss to Italy. The way it looks at the moment, only one of these teams will make it to Tokyo 2020 if there is an African team in the top-16.
A top-8 finish by the United States is easily the best PanAm result. Their nearest rivals Canada had a shock loss to Thailand in the last-32.
Egypt start the season inside the top-16 following a good win over Chile. They will need to do this regularly to stay in contention for the African place at Tokyo 2020 – France and Germany will be watching closely!
No more team events until the zonal and world championships, but we’ll update the individual rankings to see what impact the new team rankings have.
Teams in the Qualification Zone:
Italy: Enrico Berrè Luca Curatoli Aldo Montano pagina ufficiale Luigi Samele
Russia: Дмитрий Даниленко Kamil Ibragimov Konstantin Lokhanov Veniamin Reshetnikov

Japan’s thirty-one year old Kazuyasu Minobe claimed his second consecutive Grand Prix title of the season in Cali at the weekend. The Japanese fencer beat thirty-seven year old Polish fencer, Radoslav Zawrotniak in the final, having been in scintillating form all day.
A tasty start to the women's sabre qualification for sure!
Women’s Sabre Teams after Tunis
By David Baker
Tunis hosted the first Women’s Sabre event of the qualification season and boy did it throw up some surprises.
World number 1 and world champions France were stopped in the last 8 by Ukraine in a 45-44 thriller but were able to win their remaining placement matches to finish 5th and take the first European zonal place.
Ukraine reached the final by beating Korea but were not able to beat world number 3 Italy who start the season with maximum points. Korea beating USA in the top-8 means that the USA start outside the top-4, meaning there is no room for another PanAm team.
The other surprise package in the last 4 was world number 9 Japan who had an incredible 45-42 win over Russia in the last-8, on top of a 45-37 win over Hungary in the last-16. With Tunisia making the top-16 via a win over PanAm challengers Canada, this means there is no extra place available and thus world number 2 Russia are outside the qualification places as it stands.
It will be interesting to see if Tunisia attend the remaining qualification tournaments – they did not compete the season as a team last time in Rio 2016 qualification.
Two Asian teams in the top-4 means there is room for one more – China’s top-8 result (including surprisingly large 45-22 win over Germany in the last-16) starts them in the qualification places.
No more team events until the zonal championships – but we will have a look at how this drastically different qualification table would affect individual qualification rankings.
Teams in the Qualification Zone:
Italy: Irene Vecchi, Rossella Gregorio, Sofia Ciaraglia, Martina Criscio
Ukraine: Olga Kharlan, Alina Komashchuk, Olena Voronina, Yulia Bakastova
Korea: Choi Sooyeon, Kim Jiyeon, Lee Raijn, Yoon Jisu
Japan: Chika Aoki, Misaki Emura, Fukushima Shihomi, Norika Tamura
France: Cécilia Berder, Manon Brunet, Charlotte Lembach, Caroline Queroli
China: Jia Xiaoye, Qian Jiarui, Shao Yaqi, Yan Hengyu
USA: Mariel Zagunis, Dagmara Wozniak, Anne-Elizabeth Stone, Aleksandra Shelton
Tunisia: Azza Besbes, Yasmine Daghfous, Amira Ben Chaabane, Chemkhi Khadija

MF Individual Olympic Qualification update post St Peterburg. Some surprises here for sure!
Men’s Foil Individual after St Petersburg
By David Baker
So now that we have the first set of team rankings out we can see what that implies for the remaining individual qualification places.
Only two European teams in the qualification places means it’s a bit of a bloodbath at the top: with a bronze medal to Benjamin Kleibrink (GER) and a top-8 to Alexey Cheremisinov (RUS) enough to start the season in the qualification zone. Klod Younes (UKR) started well with a top-8 finish.
Three Asian teams has a similar effect. The next highest ranked fencer is Takuma Ito (JPN), on the same points total as Toshiya Saito (JPN). Starting the second in the second Asian zonal place is Ned Fitzgerald (AUS), who managed a top-96 finish.
We look to the same place to find the best African fencer outside of Egypt, which is Mohamed Samandi (TUN), and the best PanAm fencer outside of USA and Brazil, which is Maximilien Van Haaster (CAN).
Looking to improve would be two guys that had a much better team event: Richard Kruse (GBR) and Edgar Cheung Ka Long (HKG). Carlos Llavador (ESP) and Alexander Choupenitch (CZE) will also hope for better days ahead.
Next stop is the Grand Prix in Shanghai where there are plenty of points on offer.
MF Olympic Qualification Update post St Petersburg.
Men's Foil Teams after St Petersburg
by David Baker
Whilst it was almost “business as usual” in the Women’s Foil, the Men have had a much more interesting start to the season.
Some things don’t change though – the USA keep up their good form from Cairo in March to win the first event of the season.
Likewise, a solid top-8 result from Egypt confirms that they both have the African zonal place sewn up and probably have the quality to stay in the top-16.
The Brazilian team is also celebrating that result from the USA, on top of a great win over Japan in the 9-16 table which has opened up a small gap with Canada. This will probably be very close – remember for Rio 2016 these Brazil and Canada were TIED at the end of the qualification season (Brazil qualified because of their Zonal silver).
Joining the USA on the finals podium was Hong Kong, incredibly beating China, Italy and France to win the silver medal. Two Asian teams in the top-4 means that another zonal place is available, currently held by China but Japan will be looking to make amends for a fairly average start to the race.
But the reason that Japan were in the 9-16 table at all was for another incredible upset: 45-36 defeat by Great Britain. Team GBR look to be materially strengthened by the return of Richard Kruse to the team and are certainly a dark horse in the race at a minimum.
Only one European team in the top-4 means only one more can qualify. That’s currently Italy, but it’s anyone’s game with powerhouse Russia lurking, and Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland, and Ukraine all in the points.
As with the Women, that's it for the team events until the European Championships in Düsseldorf.
WF Olympic Qualification Update post Tauber!
Women’s Foil Teams After Tauber
by David Baker
The first team events got underway in Men’s and Women’s Foil this weekend. We’ll start with the Women’s Foil, who kicked off their campaign in the iconic fencing town of Tauberbischofsheim in Germany.
France, Italy, Russia, and the USA have had a fairly tight stranglehold on the top-4 and this event was no different. Russia took the win, beating world number 1 France in the final. Italy won the bronze medal; the USA had to settle for 4th after losing their semi-final to France. I suspect this top-4 result will be a familiar theme over the qualification period.
The biggest upset of the day was a 31-28 win by Poland over Germany to move into the top-8 positions. Japan critically beat China in the top 16 before a heavy loss to Russia (sorry for the earlier typo!). Canada's top-8 result via a win over Hungary opens up a sizeable gap between the next best PanAm team – if the USA stay in the top-4 then they have an obvious path to the Olympic Games.
I don’t expect any African team to challenge for the top-16, so we most likely will have an extra place available. That place is currently held by South Korea but we have a long way to go!
The next event for Women’s Foil Teams are the Zonal Championships followed by the World Championships in Budapest.
We Love Fencing! And we LOVE this!

Fencing - Qualification for Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Men’s Sabre after Seoul
by David Baker
The world’s sabre stars started in Seoul for the Grand Prix – with only 2017 World Champion Andras SZATMARI (HUN) missing through a thigh injury.
As you can see on the table, the majority of the top finishers at the GP are from countries that would qualify a team for the Olympics based on the FIE world ranking as it stands today. Top-16 finishes by Vincent ANSTETT (FRA) and Bolade APITHY (FRA) set up an intriguing battle – only one place will be available for a French fencer if they are unable to get past Germany on the team rankings for the European zonal place. Remember that Anstett beat both Apithy and Nicolas ROUSETT (FRA) last time around in Rio 2016 qualification, primarily off the back of a great European championship result.
The second European place is currently held by Andriy YAGODKA (UKR) who finished in the top-32, a result matched by Tiberiu DOLNICEANU (ROU).
A top-16 finish by XU Yingming (CHN) puts down a marker for the first Asian zone place, surpassing WANG Shi (CHN) who could only manage a top-32 result. VU Tranh An (VIE) has had a good start to the qualification season, a top-32 place has him currently taking the second Asian zonal place. Likewise, a top-32 finish by Fares FERJANI (TUN) has him clear ahead for the African place.
Outside of the USA fencers it was not a great day for the PanAmerican fencers. Stefano LUCCHETTI (ARG) leads the field with a top-64 finish, matched by Shaul GORDON (CAN) and Joseph POLOSSIFAKIS (CAN). The PanAm zonal qualifier will invetabily be a critical competition in the qualification season for the non-USA places.
Next stop is Madrid (ESP) for the individual world cup and the first of 5 team world cup events. Over the season, it will be interesting to see if Egypt can maintain their top-16 position, or if that place will go to a European team.
ON FORM OH WINS IN SEOUL

Thanks David Baker
Women’s Sabre after Seoul Grand Prix
It begins! The first event of the 2020 Tokyo qualification season is done and there were plenty of points on offer at the Seoul Grand Prix. Since we haven’t had any team events yet I’m going to use the current FIE team rankings for now.
The winner of the GP is also our highest qualified fencer, Olga KHARLAN (UKR) has got off to a great start, and will need to keep it up if her Ukraine team can’t get above Hungary in the team rankings. A top-8 finish by Liza PUSZTAI (HUN) sets her as the front runner if the Ukraine team performs well.
Early contenders for the second European place come from two countries who have historically not challenged for team qualification; last-16 finishes from Aracelo NAVARRO (ESP) and Anna LIMBACH (GER) set up an interesting early battle.
The best Asian result outside of the two Korean medallists was a top-16 finish by Chika AOKI (JPN). Japan start the qualification season ranked 9th in the world, a long way back from China in 6th, so individual qualification is the most likely route for Japanese athletes – although they may use some of their host qualification places to make up a team. Tiffany Dell’Aquila MILLER (TPE) was the next best Asian athlete from a country not qualified with a top-64 finish.
This time, only one PanAm place is available and Maria PEREZ MAURICE (ARG) was the highest points scorer in Seoul. Likewise for the African zone, Azza BESBES (TUN) leads the table. As always, the zonal championships are critical for the PanAm and African fencers in particular.
A noticeable PanAm result was a top-32 finish from Marissa PONICH (CAN) which could provide some insurance if the USA drop out of the top-4 and thus pushing Canada out of the PanAm team places.
Next stop is Tunis for the individual world cup and crucially the first of the 5 team world cup events.

Start of the Qualification Season
Article by David Baker
It begins! 365 days from now we'll know which athletes will be representing fencing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Every FIE competition from now until April 4, 2020 is a chance to gain points towards qualification.
Whilst the season has started, we have to wait a bit longer for the first competition. Don't worry though, once it gets started there will be no shortage of action - with 5 consecutive weekends of fencing!
We'll start with Sabre, the GP in Seoul at the end of the month is the first event - followed swiftly by the Epee GP in Cali on the next weekend. That weekend is shared by Foil World Cups in St Petersburg (Men) and Tauberbischofsheim (Women), and will see the first of 5 team qualification events.
The middle weekend is a Sabre World Cup weekend, followed by the Foil GP in Shanghai and the Epee World Cups in Paris (Men) and Dubai (Women).
Interestingly, Sabre has two GP's in this first part of the season, whereas the other weapons only have the one. The Sabre GP in Moscow will finish off the individual events before the Zonal Championships and the World Championships in Budapest.
We'll have updates here after every competition so you can track the qualification progress in real time. Please share with your fencing friends.

How do Host Country Places work?
Article by David Baker
Our rankings focus on the 204 athletes (102 men and 102 women) that will qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games in Fencing, but under our qualification system there are an additional 8 Host Country Places to take the total number of fencers to 212.
These places are entirely discretionary on the host nation (Japan in this case) and are in additional to the places earned in qualification. As you can see in the table above, at the last 4 Olympic Games the host nations have used all their 8 places – with the exception of China who only needed to use 2 places to maximise their full quota (remember that there were no Men’s Foil Teams or Women’s Epee Teams in Beijing so the maximum quota was 2 athletes).
If the host nation hasn’t qualified through the team route, they can add the additional individual fencers and can also enter a team. This means there will be 9 teams qualified for that weapon. You can see examples of this in Men’s Epee, Women’s Epee and Men’s Sabre in Rio, and Men’s and Women’s Foil in London.
It’s worth noting that this selection all happens after the qualification season. It doesn’t change qualifying at all knowing that Japan have 8 extra places, but obviously the more fencers Japan can qualify directly the better for them.
In Beijing 2008, China only needed 2 of their 8 host nation places. In the event this happens then the remaining places are selected by a committee called the “Tripartite Commission”. It doesn’t happen particularly often, but the places are typically either given to ‘unlucky’ strong fencers who missed out or for universality places from smaller fencing nations. In 2008, the extra places were given to Richard Kruse (GBR), Emma Samuelsson (SWE), Khalid Al Hamadi (QAT), Indra Angad-Gaur (NED), María Luisa Doig Calderón (PER), and Julien Ouedraogo (BUR).
So do we think there will be any additional places available in Tokyo? Let’s look at where it stands today: Japan would qualify teams in Men’s Foil, and are currently outside the qualification rankings in Men’s Sabre, Men’s Epee, Women’s Epee, Women’s Foil, Women’s Sabre. This suggests that without serious improvement we won’t have any additional places for the 2020 Olympics.
