nice start of the 2022/2023 World Cup for Italy...

 

medals coming from 4 out of 5 events (and in the men's Epee, despite no medals, we still have 3 guys in the quarterfinals), one Gold.

 

we did even get a medal in the women's individual Sabre, which is very rare (have to admit that this is the weapon that most feels the Russian ban).

 

only truly disappointing result is Marini's loss to his teammate Bianchi in the second round of the men's Foil.

 

let's see how the team events go tomorrow...missing the top 4 even in a single weapon must be counted as an upset and a disapponting result.

 vs  for Gold in the women's team Epee...

 

 are in the top 4 in all of today's events already through to that stage...

in the men's team Sabre we're still waiting for the quarterfinals to start (where we have a very interesting  vs  matchup).

[Vektor 3,326]

Well, I can't complain much, 4 out of our 5 teams went into the Top8. And hopefully 2 teams will make it to the Top4, our men's sabre team will have to defeat Iran for that.

ehm...

 and  ended up behind the chalkboard in the men's Sabre...

 

 destroyed  and  just edged out  at the last hit.

 

semis are  vs  and  vs  

 

 

in the women's Sabre, it's the mostly expected  vs  for Gold and  vs  for Bronze

 

in the men's Epee,  vs  is the GMM, meanwhile  and  are fighting for Bronze

 

in the women's Epee, as already written, it's  vs  for Gold and  vs  for Bronze

 

finally, in the men's Foil, the GMM is the great classic of the last 10 years,  vs  meanwhile the BMM is  vs  

 

so,  is the only team making the top 4 in all of today's 5 events (twice in the GMM, twice in the BMM and once still TBD, but sure of the top 4).

 

 are in 3 GMMs and 1 BMM, but also once out of the semifinals and  are once in the GMM, once in the BMM and once TBD, but sure of the top 4.

We got 9th place in the women's sabre team. I think we were unlucky to have to play South Korea so early, as we beat two top 10 opponents (USA and Poland). Still, we are slowly moving up the rankings and I believe soon we will be in the top 10 where we belong.

 

I must say it is a shame that we probably will only have one woman at the Olympics when we have two ranked in the top 6 in this discipline, really I wish they would both get a chance but it will be very hard to make it in the team event. However, I think for Los Angeles 2028 we will have a better chance as we'll have more time to get a good third fencer.

[Vektor 3,326]

I was thinking of doing a World Cup medal table because I never see that on the FIE site or anywhere else. I might do one later with a larger table, listing all the disciplines, but for now here's a really simplified version after 10 World Cup events out of the scheduled 76.

 

  2-5-0

  2-1-6

  1-1-2

  1-0-1

  1-0-1

  1-0-0

  1-0-0

  0-1-0

  0-1-0
