SO at risk of sounding ignorant - where are the 2010 Senior Worlds?

[Capt. Slo-mo]

And, I thought the Cadet Worlds were going away after Belfast?

Seniors are those over 13, not junior, cadet or veterans worlds. There are Senior Worlds for three years, then the Olympics are the fourth year.

I believe that the 2010 World Champs (senior) are in Paris.

Veterans can fence in Seniors. I don't believe there's any upper age limit.

[teacup]

Correct, I did not mean to imply that those over 40 are unable to fence in senior events, just that senior worlds are not veteran worlds. Anyone over 13 is able to fence at senior worlds. There is no upper age limit to Senior Worlds.

Veterans can fence in Seniors. I don't believe there's any upper age limit.

As evidenced by Jujie Luan, CAN, who fenced in Beijing and won gold in Limoges.

Baku was named the most dirty city in the world by Forbes Magazine citing "the capital, suffers from life-threatening levels of air pollution emitted from oil drilling and shipping.

Unless you're in the oil business, there's little reason to brave the choking pollution of Baku, Azerbaijan. Fetid water, oil ponds and life-threatening levels of air pollution emitted from drilling and shipping land the former Soviet manufacturing center at the bottom of this year's list as the world's dirtiest city.

Well, maybe another country will submit a bit.

[Mr.MightyMouse]

Thanks, that's what I was looking for
so the cycle is
Leipzig
Torino
St.Petersburg
Beijing
Anatalya
Paris

that pretty much eliminates Catania and Tianjin for 2011?

I remember a story of a Family friend who went to Baku for a boxing tournament - he's a heavyweight - and was told not to go to town in groups smaller than 3.
Needless to say - not an extremely complimentary opinion of the city was given.
