day 1 already over for Italy...both Carlino (men's -60kg) and Milani (women's -48kg) lost in the first round (against not so strong opponents, which makes it even more disappointing)...

 

I think our participation would eventually be "cosmetic"...

 

we have too few athletes at the start after very doubtful selections...and not so competitive...

I hope Murakami's time as the head coach of our team would be over by the end of this championship...he's definitely not giving anything good to our team...

wow! what a match and what an an ippon by Huseynov over Mudranov...the home fans are on their feet...and rightly so...

 

and now the women's version of the fight AZE vs the Olympic Champion...Gurbanli vs Pareto...

[phelps 7,746]

in this case, it did't go that well for the home team...Pareto just destroyed the Azeri girl...meanwhile among the men, Safarov was eliminated by Papinashvili (GEO)...

 

10 intense minutes ended up with mixed feelings for the home crowd, I guess...

[phelps 7,746]

and we have the first quarterfinals pairings in the men's class...

in the bottom half of the draw, in fact, we have Mshvidobadze vs Lee as the pool C final and Papinashvili vs Takabatake as the pool D final...

[phelps 7,746]
