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)...

:KOR South Korea vs :JPN Japan

:ITA Italy vs :POL Poland

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...

I assume they didn't care for consolation rounds. Ukraine also finished 13th in Men's Team Épée.

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.

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...:lol:

 

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)...:facepalm::wall:

    • Good luck then! Keep us updated please!!!   And see you in 2026 olympics!!!
    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
