Australian Nationals

[Zelda]

The Australian Nationals have started.....
results will eventually be found at
http://www.ausfencingevents.org/2003nationals/

I and at least 2 others who post have or will be fencing......

[Talyn]

I'm not fencing in them but I know A LOT of people who are and I really know whats happened.... to bad they are so frigging slow when it comes to putting up the results.

[Zelda]

Talyn, whats the goss?? I fly out tomorrow.

[Talyn]

O you know... upsets and stuff - and when that happens people are usually a bit... edgy

But I guess that happens in every comp, there are always those upsets where someone who really shouldn't lose, loses and gets really pissed

[Zelda]

Who??? I'm not getting in till late monday.....want to be informed when I fence Tuesday!!!!

[Zelda]

Ok, the nats are finished and results are up. I'm in the process of writing an article for Craig to post. I did not do as well as I wanted, but hey, such is life!

[Talyn]

But Imagine the people who were beaten by someone that was ranked much lower than them... They must have felt so much worse;p

[Zelda]

You wouldnt be talking about Men's epee would you?????

[downunder]

only major upsets were that Evelyn went out in the L16, and Peter McEniery beat Nick Heffernan in the L8

go nikki

i was pretty happy with my performance. plus i thought the event was particularly well run and in a nice venue as well. (and cheap equipment for sale!)

[Zelda]

Didnt go looking for equipment.....was it good??? I missed armoury totally due to convincing someone else to get all my stuff tested.

[Talyn]

Talking about cheap equipment check with Uhlmann, or Fencesport-langentag thingy...

They are the BEST!!!

My gear just arrived ..YUP all 900Euros of it!!!
