In Egypt, we only have bronze by Igor Reyzlin
Ukrainians for the first time in 15 years won only one medal at the World Fencing Championship.
The only Ukrainian medalist in Cairo was epee fencer Igor Reyzlin. The bronze medalist of the Olympic Games for the second time took third place at the World Championships in the individual championship. In Cairo, Reislin competed with a knee injury and was forced to miss the team tournament because of it.
Ukraine finished the last World Cup 2019 with four medals (one gold and one silver and two bronze).
The last time Ukrainians won only one medal at the world championship back in 2012 in Kyiv. Then the women’s saber team won silver. True, this was due to the fact that only two sets of awards were played at that World Championship as a whole.
As for full-fledged world championships, Ukraine has not left them with one medal since 2007.
Recall that at the 2022 World Cup in Cairo, Ukrainian saber fencer Olga Harlan flew out to the 1/16 finals, losing to Italian Martina Criscio – 14:15.
