Final Thoughts from Challenge Eugène Fillol

We look back at an intense, exciting and fun weekend with the 2023 Challenge Eugène Fillol. With a starting field of fencers from many different countries and of different ages, the atmosphere was just as Fillolian as it usually is, with joy, community and a lots of sweat. Thanks everyone for that!

🇸🇪🇺🇦🇪🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰🇫🇮🇱🇻
💘
After Saturday’s pools, on Sunday came the intense battle for the final places and the looming prize table. 
It was remarkable that among the eight semi-finalists there were four old fillol winners, last year’s Anatolii Herey, Ukraine, and Irina Embrich, Estonia, but also Bartosz Piasecki, Norway, and Linus Islas Flygare from Uppsala, Sweden, so it was set up for a tough fight!

Irina Embrich won the women’s final against FFF’s Louise Ulltjärn, who also became best junior, the men’s final was a very tough match where Linus Isla’s Flygare managed to keep Anatolii Herey behind, and could become a double final winner. The best junior was Valentin Altunin, from Estonia, who came in bronze.


Many thanks to everyone who helped create this magnificent competition this time, everything from planning, computer hacking, food fixing, cleaning, judging etc. etc., there are many pieces that have to work for a competition to be successful! 
THANKS!

“A warm welcome back in 2024!”

Competition Formula

The qualification rounds on Saturday consist of four rounds of poules and a preliminary direct elimination. No fencer is eliminated until after the last round of poules. The winners of each of the poules in round two, three or four are directly qualified for next day’s competition, as well as those who qualifies from the DE round that completes the first day. The ranking of the fencers for the second day will be made according to what stage in the competition the fencer has qualified for the second day. Approximately half of the number of the participating fencers will be qualified for Sunday’s DE, which will be fenced with repêchage.

Rules and Regulations

FIE rules and the Swedish Fencing Federation rules will apply. Exceptions made are that FIE blades are not mandatory and there is no need for an FIE license. However, we do require that all fencers are registered with their national fencing federation.

Referees

We urge the participating Nordic fencing clubs to make competent referees available to the directoire technique throughout the competition. Referees from other countries are also most welcome. In the first rounds of poules the fencers may, if necessary, act as referees.
