According to the union's leaders, the matter stems from a lack of security coordination between the countries. • The fencing union stated: "We will leave in any case, with or without security."

It happens again:

the fencing union will not participate in the world championships in Cairo, after receiving a message today (Saturday) from the GSS delegations that their departure is not approved. Most important of the year.

All this comes after the Dakar athletes won second place at the European Championships, a result that puts the team in a good starting position to fit into the top of the world fencing and from there to historic participation in the Paris Olympics 2024.

Non-participation in the World Championships means canceling the chances of the stabbing team's Olympic dream, when even there, on the eve of the championship, the IDF did not allow athletes to fly, but following the intervention of MK Simon Davidson, the decision was changed.

The fencing union said: "We will go to Cairo anyway, with or without security."

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
