I agree, one or two strange decisions against Italy I didn't get. But overall, USA looked better than I expected. Especially not allowing Italy to run away at the early stage of the match.

good jb by our foil guys, easily through to the gold medal match (which will be a re-match of yesterday's women's team foil, but this time the USA start as heavy favourite, since they've won all 5 world cup events in this season)...

 

meanwhile, once again our sabre girls have missed a big chance...after surviving a big scare against HUN in the quarterfinals, they lost to the mighty Russians only at the last hit...and then they wasted the day by losing badly to the Korean trolls (they are everywhere...I just can't stand them anymore...)...

p.s. no matter what's the outcome of today's gold medal matches, Italy have already won the final medal table...

France!

Russia... reigning Individual Olympic Champion, Individual World Champion, Individual European Champion in the same team...and they lost it!

bad news for Italy...Giorgio Avola injured himself in the warm-up before the men's team foil final, so he won't be available in the last act of the world champs against the USA...
