phelps 6,872 Posted May 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 10, 2018 of course I couldn't watch how it really went, but I have more than a feeling that the men's -75kg semifinal between the 2 legends of Karate Luigi Busà (ITA) and Rafael Aghayev (AZE) has been some kind of a compensation for the facts from earlier today... I have a lot more than a feeling that Aghayev didn't deserve the favor of the judges at the Hantei... and also in the men's -67kg class an Italian athlete (Luca Maresca, in this case) loses his quarterfinal bout thanks to an unfavourable Hantei (against Burak Uygur from Turkey, so, always from the same geographical area)... is it just bad luck or should I think about something else?

phelps 6,872 Posted May 10, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 10, 2018 at least, Uygur went through to the final...so, Maresca can still play his chances to win a consolation Bronze... however, this day is turning into a very bad day for Italy...we lost one of our defending champions in rd #1 and we also missed out on 2 finals that should have been reached by Busà and Maresca, corrupted judging or not (they should have won their bouts well before going to the Hantei, which is always a risky situation, especially when you're facing people coming from certain Countries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,872 Posted May 10, 2018 #20 Share Posted May 10, 2018 the previous match against the Latvian seem to have waken up Sara...in the quarters she destroyed the Spaniard Fernandez Osorio by a score of 4-0... now she has to face her long time rival Anzhelika Terlyuga from Ukraine in the semifinal...
