phelps 7,070 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #152 Share Posted July 26, 2018 this time no distractions by our Dream Team, reaching the final without any trouble... Gold Medal match that will see the USA facing Italy, after the Russians continued their very disappointing streak of failures in these World Champs by losing in the quarterfinals against the unbelievable Koreans... in the meantime, also the last 2 events of the Champs have come to the quarterfinals stage (which will be contested tomorrow, in the last day of the tournament)... men's team Foil quarterfinals United States vs China France vs Russia South Korea vs Japan Italy vs Poland women's team Sabre quarterfinals Italy vs Hungary United States vs Russia South Korea vs Ukraine France vs China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,070 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #153 Share Posted July 26, 2018 it doesn't look promising for our sabre girls...either RUS (in the only weapon where they are in great shape) nor the USA (our traditional bete noir) leave us with many hopes to make the final for the second year in a row...

Ukraine also finished 13th in Men's Team Épée. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deriglazova was never substituted so in my opinion they cared at least a bit. Anyway it's never a good idea to throw away ranking points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,070 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #157 Share Posted July 26, 2018 men's team epee qualification to Tokyo will be a bloody fight, especially if Korea can keep up and stay in the top 4 places of the World Ranking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 7,070 Posted July 26, 2018 Author #160 Share Posted July 26, 2018 in the worst season for our women's foil in the last 30 years, we still managed to come home with the European Gold and World Silver in the team event (and the World title in the individual event)...not bad... but I'm still upset and angry for this gold medal match against the USA... first, we must say that Camilla Mancini is not ready yet for this kind of competition...she is too inconsistent and the risk to compromise the team's final result is too high (as we've just seen)... and Errigo is still a case for a good psychiatrist (and a really good one)... but at the same time we just can't close our eyes on the shameful mistake (possibly in bad faith, since they had the chance to watch the replay) that changed completely the outcome of the match...it should have been 37-35 for the USA (with Prescod mentally struggling big time) and instead the ref and the video judge ignored one of the clearest parèe et resposte in the history of the sport and still gifted the US girl the point that definitely turned off Errigo's mind and so killed the match... that's absolutely not acceptable...and that's why I'm angry, despite a result that should make everybody happy (considering all the circumstances)...
