Fencing FIE World Championships 2022

[phelps 7,670]

more infamous fencing from the Italians...

 

the no.2 seed in the women's Foil,  Alice Volpi, is out in round of 32 against the not exactly phenomenal  Maia Weintraub...   

 

and  Martina Favaretto is also already dead and gone in round 2 against  Maria Teresa Diaz, once again not exactly the no.1 in the world... 

 

 

at least,  Davide Di Veroli (winning against  Lopez Pourtier) and  Federico Vismara (winning against  Sten Priinits) are through to the last 16 in the men's Epee...

 

 

so, except for the top Italians, no major surprises so far in both today's events...

so, the medallists from today's action are well known...

 

in the women's Foil, the semis are:  Lee Kiefer vs  Arianna Errigo and  Maria Boldor  vs  Ysaora Thibus

 

in the men's Epee, instead, the top 4 are:   Romain Cannone vs  Neisser Loyola  and  Igor Reizlin vs  Kazuyasu Minobe

 

so, we have some surprising results, way more than yesterday...especially that Neisser Loyola of them all, where the hell did he come out from???

 

for Italy, just "no comment"...but someone should go back to Italy by swimming...
