wow! great final rush by Curatoli...

down 10-13 he changed gear and landed 4 consecutive attacks...

then, after Hartung tied the bout at 14, he didn't lost his mind and scored the winning hit with style...

but it still helps, in the sense that being higher in the ranking will give you a better draw in the next events (when it  will count for the OQR)...

luckily we didn't miss the chance to win a tournament on a day where the Koreans couldn't kill us as usual...

 

but we were very lucky on the decisive hit...it could have well gone the other way...

Thrilling last touch but it was quite clearly an attac au fer of Curatoli...

yes, it was...

but how many times the refs have made mistakes on actions like that and reverted the call?

OK, Milenchev is probably the best sabre ref in the world, but still...when tied at 44, the risk is always there...
