Fencing Federation’s reaction to the weak results of the national team in the 2 World Cups

In an interview with the sports reporter of Fars News Agency, Mohsen Vahdani said about the performance of the national fencing team and the poor results in the World Cup in Poland and Italy: It is true that the results obtained in the World Cup in Poland and Italy were not worthy of the national team, but this team is the same team. He became the runner-up of the world a few months ago. We have to give the kids and the staff a chance to get out of this situation.

He continued: both the players and the technical staff have a share in the failures. In the match against Japan during the World Cup, when the national team was ahead, our best player, Ali Pakdaman, did not have a good day, and maybe if we had won that game, there would have been none of these rumors.

The secretary of the Fencing Federation said that two failures in the World Cups do not make you think about the future of the national team: In our opinion, nothing special has happened so far and we are not going to be on the podium in all the World Cups. On the other hand, if this situation continues, we will definitely investigate and make a decision. In any case, we must give time for the children to recover and find themselves.

About the condition of Poursalman, the head of the Fencing Federation who was present at the crash of the Kerman helicopter, Vahdani said: Fortunately, Poursalman is in better conditions and is in Tehran and will attend the Federation.

Regarding the Hungarian Saber World Cup, he said: Ali Pakdaman, Mohammad Derhi, Mohammad Fatuhi and Farzad Baher are the delegation members, and the national team is going to leave for Hungary a few days earlier. A joint camp has also been prepared with this country and after that the children will enter the competitions.
