Wow what a disaster for Russia. Only one bronze after 4 events :yikes:

 

their sabre girls saved the face, at least...

they have 3 women among the 4 medallists...:yikes:

meanwhile in the men's foil they are all already out before the last 8 (where there are 3 Italians, 2 Britons and no Americans, by the way)

shame! shame! shame! on Garozzo and Avola...they literally threw a medal away against no-name fencers...:facepalm::wall:

 

by the way, quite a lot of surprises also in both today's events...not our usual World Champ (it's the Chinese jinx, of course)...:rofl:

Disaster????????When italian fencing supporters start to understand that winning in fencing is much, much, much, much more difficult than 15 years ago? Disaster for a world medal?Ok Garozzo  and Avola are better than korean and spanish fencers but surprising results often happens in sport (remember Marco Cecchinato in Paris)

it's not a disaster..but still it's a disappointing outcome, especially when 2 other people waste such a chance against clearly weaker opponents...

frankly, once getting to that specific quarterfinals situation, it was absolutely normal to expect 3 Italians among the top 4...and as it didn't happen, it's also absolutely normal being unhappy (I'm pretty sure that Avola and Garozzo are the first to blame themselves for those losses and even more because at a certain point they looked in control of thier respective assaults)...

 

now let's hope that Foconi doesn't imitate his teammates and "fills his contract" by winning that fu**in' Gold medal...

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
