The Pentathlon Michelle Gulyás is second after overall fencing

“Winning 22 or 23 aces is already a very bad result, the only way I can get to the places close to the medals is to win co at least twenty times in this race, as the combined number is stronger than mine. . The 21 winning streaks are not a long result, it can be done on a good day,” said Michelle Gulyás, three-time world silver and bronze medalist pentathlete, plainclothes police officer, on the counts. with which we went through even before the Olympics, which may be required for ultimate success.

Gulyás exceeded expectations in Thursday’s round robin, winning 24 out of 35, surpassing the “real result” and making a good start to the pentathlon competition at the Paris Olympics . Because with this performance and the 245 points he got for 24 victories, he is currently in second place. Only Rio national silver medalist, world champion in the mixed team, and four-time World Cup silver medalist Élodie Clouvel fought better than Gulyás, she is waiting to continue with 27 victories , ie 260 points.

Blanka Guzi, who won only 15 out of 35 duels, did not start well, and with the 200 points he collected in this way, he was 31st in the field of 36 players. This year at the Chengdu World Championships Guzi, who won gold as a team and silver as an individual, who previously won silver and bronze with a team at the World Cup, is not in a hopeless situation, because fencing is not his strength, and with his 200 points. he is not far behind, he is in 12th place with 215 points Mexican Mayan Oliver.

Fencing did not start well for the men

Balázs Szép had a moderate, but encouraging result for him in the men’s Olympic pentathlon competition, while Csaba Bőhm achieved such a result in Pášt that it will be difficult for him to reach the final or perform well there. Balázs Szép, this year’s World Cup silver medalist, defeated 18 of his opponents and lost from 17. Since this is not his strong point, a positive balance can be a good basis for him to maintain his ‘ go On the other hand, the world champion Csaba Bőhm could not find the rhythm, and with 13 wins and 22 losses, he was in a difficult situation. Even reaching the final looks like a feat for him, MTI summarized the round robin.

National team captain János Martinek told the telegraph office “By winning the World Cup final and then the World Championship, Bőhm probably set the standard too high for himself, and maybe he couldn’t this and to carry the Olympic atmosphere and environment. He didn’t move on the track like he used to, he couldn’t do what he used to do,” he said, adding that he is very strong in numbers otherwise, he can reach the finals, but if. he will succeed there, he will not have much chance of reaching a great result there. He said of Szép, he did not fight wonderfully or badly. He has a higher chance of reaching the finals, but it is more difficult to win a medal.

The men’s semi-finals will be held on Friday and the women’s on Saturday. Competitors continue in two groups of 18 for each gender, nine pentathlon athletes from each will reach the finals, which will be held on Saturday for men and Sunday for women. The field will move to the competition center in the park of the Palace of Versailles after the fence, ie from Friday. At the Olympics, like the World Cup final, there will be riding already in the semi-finals.
