Fencing FIE World Cup 2018 - 2019

and the "fencing moms" start their "new" career with a podium finish, as both Elisa Di Francisca and Martina Batini won their quarterfinals bouts (vs Korobeynikova and Volpi respectively) and are through to the semifinals...

in the final 4 they will find the Japanese that never surrenders, Serao Azuma, and "Queen" Inna Deriglazova, who survived a good scare vs the young Martina Favaretto...

and after all the controversies between Errigo and the Italian federation, in the first women's Foil competition of 2019 it looks that Arianna decided to take it seriously...

and she's one of the only 2 Italian girls still in contention at the quarterfinal stage in Katowice, together with the outsider Francesca Palumbo, who upset Ysaora Thibus among others so far (which means that all the others have been a real disaster, starting with Volpi, out in round #2 after losing against the Youth World and Olympic champion, Yuka Ueno from Japan...meanwhile Elisa Di Francisca lost a tight battle against her nemesis, the queen of foil, Inna Deriglazova in the round of last 16)...
