i passed the poules, which is basically where the fencers are randomly grouped into groups(poules) of about 5 each. and you get to fence every other fencer in your poule. and then the top 30 or something are ranked according to the points they scored in total. and then they have DE(direct elimination) according to their rank. the topTOP 3 ranks don't have to participate in the first round of DE. yep. and DE goes on until they have the TOTAL ranking. cos only the winning fencer from each bout goes to the next round. and then somehow they get the top. uhhuh.
i was ranked 19 at first D: and then i won DE round 1 and i usurped her rank. which was 14. and i lost to the PRO celine. who was rank 3 D: so then i was ELIMINATED. oh boohoo. actually the bout was quite okay. 15-12. so yeah. that's about it. and i just realised in the shower that i have like a hundred bruises. ohman. OUCH. i will look abosolutely horrifying on monday if the bruises all show. crapp. okay. sarah has pictures, by the way, so when she sends them to me, i'll load them here! hweefang and sarah will murder be when the pictures from my camera are loaded. cos' there's this totally scandalous picture of them sitting together beside the piste with what looks like sarah's hand on hweefang's boob. yeah. cos sarah was sitting IN FRONT of hweefang, and she was raising her hand. yep. so it was the wonderful camera angle. perceptions change.
