Next Episode: Preview of the last Men's & Women's Team Foil Qualifiers in Cairo and Kazan

In the Women's event, Leonie Ebert (GER) extended her lead with a top 16 finish. Maria Diaz (ESP) stays in the second European place without scoring any points - Julia Walczyk (POL) has cut the gap to 3 points with a top 32 result. Nicole Pustilnik (ISR) is still in contention but is getting harder.

Chen Qingyuan (CHN) moved further away from Algiers silver medallist Shi Yue (CHN) with a top 32 finish. Otherwise no real changes ahead of the final world cup in Kazan and the final GP in Anaheim.

For the Men, Marcus Mepstead (GBR) continues on his path to Tokyo, a top 16 result extended the gap away from the chasing Europeans. Benjamin Kleibrink (GER) made the 32, but only Alexander Choupenitch (CZE) could match it. Carlos Llavador (ESP) and Michał Siess (POL) went out in the 64.

Otherwise all looks quite stable - unless the teams change. We'll see in Cairo next weekend!
