What a disappointing results for Italy in male saber, 0 in top 8 :facepalm:

 

it was expected...

our guys have been very inconsistent throughout the entire season...

moreover, at the moment we just can't play against the Koreans...the only man who had a chance was Berrè, but he lost an apparently close match against Szatmari (who's a good fencer...you can always lose against him and it's not a shame for sure)...

and, sad to be said, Montano is a former athlete...he shouldn't be anymore part of our team, but you know, in Italy is always very difficult, if not impossible, to keep a decorated veteran out unless he calls himself out...

finally, I'm very surprised by Ferjani's result...congrats to him...and let's hope not to see too many Koreans on the podium...

 

in the women's epee, instead, at least Navarria got into the top 8...let's see if she can deliver when it really matters once in her career...surprisingly, no Russians in the top 8...

and I expected Fiamingo to go out against Branza-Popescu, but not with that infamous score...:facepalm:

I really don't now what is going on with Fiamingo. She was one of the best (maybe even the best) epee fencer in the world and now this.

Looking at the T8, a final between Navarria and Popescu would be the logical thing to expect

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

I always fear the Estonians...for Navarria, beating Lehis wn't be so easy...our girls always fence badly against the Baltic women...

however, I hope this timew Navarria can finally reach the final of a major championship...she deserves it...

I think she did burn out mentally...

I don't think she has big technical issues (and I'm sure she's not injured)...

 

How the f*ck does Emese Szasz never burn out and we see her, with the slow/boring style, competing every year?

by the way, the streaming is a joke...it's half an hour behind the real time...if you go to the blue piste right now, they're stull waiting to show the round of 16 in the men's sabre (which is way over...there's even the clock on the pictures, indicating 16.15 local time, meanwhile now it's 16.45, 10.45 here in Central Europe)...:yikes::facepalm::wall:

I hate those fuc*in' events held in China...how much I hate them...:redcard::redcard::redcard:

I got to see Popescu's bout in T16 20 minutes after it was actually over :d

not all the people have the same character and/or mental strenght...here in Italy we are full of athletes who had an unbelievably long career always on top (look at Vezzali, just to name a fencer)...but Fiamingo isn't one of those, unfortunately for us...

however, I still hope for her to get back to her glory days...she's still quite young, especially for a weapon like epee...maybe she's just recharging her batteries before the Tokyo Games...

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
