It's interesting how in fencing the top athletes are usually contenders to the podium - like we saw in last Olympics - and is the competition that usually gives less points. The highlights are Sika and Omar El Geziry (London and Rio de Janeiro), in the strongest fields (ironically, none of them ended in top 3 in those competitions). The Egyptian was the best fencer in the year, but his strong starts were not enough to reach a podium. Marosi was pretty solid being twice in the list above, same with Cherkovskis, and Horbacz, Tymoschenko and Dmytro Kirpulyanskyy had their best results helped by a great fencing competition.

In equestrian I should have get the bottom scores to have an idea of how tough was each field. It seems Budapest was a tough competition, while Rio de Janeiro (where I worked) was a smooth field. The pentathletes from the Baltic countries had a good year in riding, losing few points in the competitions. Marosi had great shows in his way to several medals,
